A small bead. The metal appears to be silver. The bead is hollow and globular, slightly flattened at the top and bottom. There is an off-centre sub-circular aperture on the top and bottom faces. The bead is undecorated. Not closely datable. Dimensions: 6.19 mm x 4.88 mm Weight: 0.24 g This item lacks diagnostic features making it impossible to securely date it.

Silver ring, possibly a finger ring. The band is wide, undecorated and has an inward facing D-shaped cross section. The fact that the ring has a convex internal surface suggests that it may not be a finger ring. Undiagnostic Description: silver band, probably a fitting, with undecorated surface. The interior of the fitting is convex, indicating that this is indeed a fitting rather than a finger-ring. Discussion: There are no diagnostic features to the fitting, therefore it is not possible to conclusively date the fitting.
