Gold ring with plain exterior, inscribed inside in lower case: Noe recompence but love, and stamped with maker's mark 'WG'. Note: Such rings are difficult to date precisely from the shape or inscription alone, but in this instance we can be certain that it pre-dates 1700. Firstly, the spelling of the word 'noe' with an 'e' was common in the 17th century. Secondly, the maker's mark has been identified as that of William Gough I of Marlborough, active about 1620-70: see T A Kent, West Country Silver Spoons and their makers 1560-1750 (London, 1992), pp. 93-94.

Roman copper alloy finger ring, missing its setting. It is similar to Henig Type VIII but badly cast, the area for the setting being lop-sided and missing an edge. The shoulders are triangular in shape and extend at an angle from the bezel. Below the shoulder is another angled section, being almost vertical if the finger ring is viewed sideways on with the bezel to the top. Below this the hoop is curved. The hoop is D-shaped in section and the finger ring has a rather squashed, anglular look about it. Internal measurements are 16x13mm. Much of the original patina is missing. Late Roman.

Copper alloy Roman (AD 43-410) finger-ring, the hoop of which is now rather squashed. It does not fit to a Henig type, but is similar to his Type XII in that the widest point is at the bezel and the shoulders taper from this at either side. The hoop is very narrow and thin and D-shaped in section. At its thinnest point (opposite the bezel) it is less than 1mm wide. The bezel is oval and measures 4x5.5mm. It is 1-1.5 mm high and possibly contains traces of enamel, now the same colour green as the metal, or maybe this is a scored pointed oval simply outlining the metal in the bezel, an…

Incomplete copper alloy Roman finger-ring of Henig Type XII, missing its setting. The bezel is pointed oval in shape with a further triangle extending from each point (to form the shoulders) as far as the plain loop, which would have been on the underside of the finger and not visible. The bezel is flanked by a straight-sided flange which gives the finger-ring a rectangular shape. The flange then tapers from the shoulders to the loop. In profile the finger-ring looks top-heavy and slightly squashed horizontally. One bezel-edge appears decorated with tiny incisions - this is actually…

Badly corroded copper alloy medieval finger-ring, 23mm external diameter, 19mm internal. The finger-ring is flat in section and tapers from 8mm wide at the 'bezel' to 5mm at the opposite point on the hoop. The 'bezel' is defined by two vertical incised lines 10mm apart, and the 'shoulders' by an incised triangle pointing away (for 5.5mm) from the bezel, the bases of which are made from the incisions forming the bezel. It is possible there was further decoration, but the surface is extremely pitted. Much of the patina is missing; the metal is rough and almost black in colour.
