A complete but distorted lead alloy finger ring. The ring is small, possibly for a child or little finger, and has a raised circular bezel that contains a dark blue galss or paste. Either side of the bezel on the shoulders is two smaller circular mouldings that may have once also contained inserts. The band extends from beneath the latter and is plain and circular in section. The ring is similar in form to some Roman finger rings, however the size, material used and quality may suggests a much later date, possibly the post-medieval or even early-modern period.

Incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman finger ring. The bezel and shoulders of the ring remain. The bezel is circular and contains a circular recess in which the remains of the badly damaged setting still exist.
