Gold quarter stater, of Hobbs's 'Central Eastern Gold Attributed to Addedomaros' type (Hobbs 1996, 2417-21). The only variation from the standard type is that there is a pellet-in-ring below the horse's tail, rather than the usual ring. Van Arsdell (1989, nos. 1623-1) catalogues the type as Trinovantian, Addedomaros second coinage, 37-33 BC, but his dates are notoriously over-precise and a range of mid to late first century BC is to be preferred. The coin is of reddish gold; the slightly convex obverse is a little worn but the concave reverse is very clear.

Gold finger-ring of 'stirrup-shaped' type, now in two pieces and with an empty setting. The hoop is a little uneven but in most places 2.5 mm wide and a very thin D-shape in cross-section. The hoop is now crushed out of shape and a small piece, opposite the bezel, has become detached. The bezel is tall and triangular in the classic 'stirrup' shape, and has a very tiny circular setting for a gem a little less than 2 mm in diameter. The base of the setting is keyed for adhesive, of which no traces survive. Medieval, probably 13th century.

As this finger ring is so plain with no diagnostic features it is very difficult to date. Consequently, due to the undiagnostic nature of the find, it can not be securely dated to pre-1706 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure act 1996.
