FINGER RING
Unique ID: NARC-40E412
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A copper-alloy finger ring. The ring is 'D' shaped in section and circular in plan. The inner face is flattened. The ring is completely plain making dating it to a particular period problematic. A finger ring of this type could date from the Iron Age to Post-Medieval date. However, the patina of the copper alloy, an even dark green, is typical of Roman finds from this area.
