The fragment begins to expand past the ribbed area and this section seems to be defined by an incised line at each end, and contains punched chevrons and diamonds, possibly originally filled with black enamel. This end possibly has an area with a concave profile, possibly suggesting the recess to take a pin for a hinge.

Copper alloy ring of uncertain date, probably a suspension-ring, harness, belt or strap ring The circular ring is near-complete but poorly or miscast and is of triangular-section. There are no markings or decoration on the ring. The surface is heavily-pitted and an outside and underside area of the ring (32mm long) is miscast with large air bubbles and would have been considerably weakened along this area. The interior surface is perpendicular to the underside, while the outside face is bevelled. The surface is stripped and has a red-brown patination. The ring has very fe…

Copper alloy radiate, probably of Allectus (AD 293-6) (Reece Period 14), probably PAX AVG, unclear Pax left. Mint unclear. Heavily worn/holed - unusual in a Roman context, so presumably indicates re-use in Anglo-Saxon times e.g as part of a necklace? This coin has been considered for Sam Moorhead's corpus for RIC.
