A complete cast copper-alloy circular ring, probably a harness ring, dating from the Medieval to Post-medieval period, about AD 1100 - 1700. The sub-circular ring is hexagonal in cross-section and has a varying width across the frame. The object has a dark grey patina and there are visible filemarks. Measurements are; 26.6mm diameter, 20.6mm inetrnal diameter, 2.4mm thick and 2.7g.
