A cast copper alloy brooch fragment or possibly a simple ring. The ring is circular, with a flattened circular section. It is worn, with a badly damaged surface with a mid brownish-green patina. Due to a lack of contextual evidence it is not possible to date this object, so a precise date for this object can not be guaranteed as it is rather fragmentary and undiagnostic. Copper alloy rings like this one have been used through-out history for everything from harness fittings to clothes fittings. However, it could be the remains of an annular brooch.
