Description: A silver twisted wire ring. Dimensions: Length: 18 mm Width: 17 mm Thickness: 3 mm Weight: 0.8 g Discussion: The option of this being an Early Medieval find was discarded on the basis of construction as it is made from a strip rather than a rod and also due to the format of the terminals. Also on the basis of construction (made of a strip of twisted silver with a twisted wire) the option of it being of Medieval date was put aside. On further inspection the item was found to probably be an element from a more elaborate piece of jewellery dating to…

An inscribed ring, silver gilt (?). Plain on one side, the other inscribed in relief ONCE MYNE AND EVER THYN with three crosses. The plain surface is very slightly curved, suggesting that the surface with the inscription is inside. The ring has been straightened and appears to have been repaired (repair located between TH and YN of the inscription 'THYN'). This ring does not correspond to any of the posy rings in the British Museum collections, which have exteriors that are either plain or decorated with inscriptions on the inside.
