An incomplete cast copper alloy annular ring of unknown function, of probable Late Bronze Age to early Roman date (c. 1100 BC - AD 200). It is sub-circular in cross - section, with both faces of the ring being slightly flattened. Both internal and external edges are convex. It is unclear whether or not the object originally formed a complete ring but the terminii both show a slight degree of possible impact damage.
