Probable Iron finger-ring bezel of Roman date
The probable finger-ring is fragmentary, represented by the bezel and shoulders (with a surviving length of 15mm, a surviving width of 25.4mm and a weight of 4.2g). The side with better preserved shoulder has broken just below a sharp turn (where the hoop has a width of 4.1mm and a thickness of 1.9mm), suggesting a carinated or ‘keeled’ form to the finger-ring. Ferrous corrosion has masked the detail over the ring but the hoop appears to have been rectangular-sectioned, gradually widening to the bezel. No decoration is now evident…
