A complete cast copper alloy finger ring, probably of Early Post Medieval dating (1500-1700). The hoop is D shaped in cross section, being rounded to the external (outside edge). No bezel is present. The finger ring is a mid to dark green colour, with patches of a dark green surface patina present. This patina is likely to be the original surface, the majority of which has been removed due to abrasion occuring as a result of movement within the plough soil. The loss of the original surface does mean that if the ring was originally decorated, no trace of the decoration is no…

A complete cast copper alloy finger ring, of probable Early Post Medieval dating (16th to 17th Centuries AD). The finger ring is of the signet ring style, with a shield shaped bezel.
