Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy ring of probable Iron Age or Early Roman date, c. 800 BC - AD 100. A simple undecorated ring, circular in plan and oval in cross section, with a slightly off-centre circular perforation 6.2mm in diameter. Dimensions: diameter 15.7mm; thickness 4.5mm; weight 3.65g. Although obviously largely undiagnostic, the grey-green patina of the object would suggest an Iron Age or Roman date range, with a number of similarly plain rings excavated in Camerton, Somerset (Jackson 1990: plt. 15, nos. 157-161). As is noted for HAMP-6D6A91, the size of the aperture relative to the t…
