A gold band with a narrow tang/fastening hook at one end and blunt rounded terminal at one end (with a roughly pierced hole to receive the fastening hook). Both sides of the ornament are folded over to create an overall [ shape (similar to other objects of this date and style, cf. the Binstead 'rings', discussed below). The object has been distorted and crumpled. It is not clear whether the damage occurred before or after deposition, but the latter is probable given the lack of clear or intentional breakage.

An incomplete copper alloy spiral ring of later Prehistoric date, probably from the Middle Bronze Age Ornament Horizon phase (from c. 1500 BC) to the late Iron Age/ early Roman period, c. AD 100. It has worn, old breaks at either end. The ring is comprised of a piece of copper alloy with a D-shaped cross-section bent into a circular spiral of one and a half turns. Much of the original patina is missing to reveal is very light green/ blue coloured metal beneath, heavily pitted and powdery. However where the original patina does survive (chiefly to the inside surface) is is thick, smoo…

A probably Late Bronze Age (1100-750 BC) gold ring of hexagonal cross-section, with flat internal and external faces, the faces to either side being angled. There is little sign of wear, except for some light scratches. The inside face features a slightly off-centre internal join at one point, suggesting having been made in a mould. The angled face above this has a slight fracture in the surface. It is likely this ring might have been a linking component of a composite object or suite of fittings. However, it is insufficiently diagnostic in appearance to assign a specific function. …
