A plain gold finger-ring with a sub-lozenge section, measuring 22-23mm in diameter. The ring lacks sufficient detail to yield any dating evidence.
Update: There is a similar finger-ring in the Beeston Tor Cave hoard, deposited c. 875 AD and now in the British Museum (1925,0217.1, not illustrated on BM website; Wilson 1964, no. 5; for a photograph, see Webster and Backhouse (eds) 1991, 269, no. 45c). There is therefore a possibility that this ring is early-medieval in date. Compare, for example, NMS-B5B528 and ESS-5463D2.
