A cast, copper-alloy ring of a type often suggested to be medieval or post-medieval harness rings (Geake, 2001, Finds Recording Guide, page 74), dating from AD 1200 - 1800, though they are typically undiagnostic items. Further, Geake (ibid., 74) suggests that the broadly hexagonal cross-section which this ring possesses probably indicates a medieval date; it is slightly bevelled externally and internally at the edge. It has a dark grey-green patina with traces of transverse incised lines. One area of the ring slightly wides to 4.86 mm. It is 27.57 mm diameter, 3.95 mm thick and wei…
