A complete, cast copper alloy finger ring of probable late Medieval date. The ring is circular with a 'D' shaped section. The outer face is decorated with moulded decoration which is now very worn. The decoration appears to take the form of letters, although now only a possible DON is identifiable. The hoop has suffered some damage and is slightly squared in appearance. It measures 19.9mm in diameter, 1.2mm in thickness and weighs 0.97g.
