A copper alloy, finger ring of uncertain date, AD.43-1900. The object comprises the band of a copper alloy ring with a single straight break through it. The band is D shaped in cross section and of relatively even thickness and width around its circuit. The break likely represents the soldering point of the ring that has corroded and given way. The ring lacks any diagnostic features or markings and out of context is effectively impossible to date accurately.

A gold medieval to post medieval gold finger ring, dating from AD 1400-1600. The hoop of the ring is broken, and is now a strip of gold.

A band of copper-alloy bent out of shape, now forming a crude figure 8. The ring would presumably have been circular originally. It is very crude and it is unlikely that this would have been worn as a finger ring. It is 2 mm wide and 0.5 mm thick. It is more likely that this formed some form of an attachment ring. Such crude copper-alloy rings are very difficult to date.

A small ring of copper alloy composition which is extensively damaged although complete. It is of Penannular design with a single decorative incised line running all the the way around the ring. It is flat, not rounded and although on side of the ring is level the other rises and dips to give a wave impression. At the pinnicle of the rise the width of the ring is 7.61mm and at the bottom of the dips the width is 4.96. The ring has broken at the point of a "dip", and it seems as though the ring has been squashed and slightly twisted out of shape. As Johns (1996; 72) states, it is diffi…
