Gold fragment from a larger object. It has a round loop (presumably for attachment), embedded in and forming one end of a rectangular frame which expands and flattens out at the other end, where it is broken off. The remainder of the original object might, for instance, have been round or cross-shaped.

This small ring is formed of a simple plaited band. It is likely to be post-medieval in date, but in the absence of any parallels in the British Museum, there is no evidence to confirm that it is more than 300 years old. Consequently, as the ring cannot be securely dated to pre-1706 it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
