An incomplete copper alloy finger ring of probable Roman date, with an oval setting (7mm long) in the bezel for a now missing gem or intaglio. The hoop had an internal diameter of c.17.5mm with a plano-convex cross section. The bezel is in the line of the hoop, with tapering shoulders which merge seamlessly with the hoop and are undecorated. The form is broadly compatible with Guiraud Type 2a and most likely dates to the 1st - early 3rd century AD.

A complete but bent Medieval copper alloy finger ring, probably dating to c. AD 1200 - 1450. The find has a sub circular bezel in which there is an irregular, sub oval, slightly purple coloured setting- possibly a gem, which stands proud of the bezel. There is a faint legend around the outside, which is rather illegible but appears to read, (+) (N/Z)_A_ENO(R/N) or +D(N/Z)_A_ENO(R/N)C. This may be a nonsensical legend and was only discernible when the find was damp, when initially found. The bezel itself sits proud of the hoop, but is integral with it.…
