Treasure reference no. 2013 T706: two fragments of folded sheet gold, found together and presumably once part of the same object. Fragment A is sub-rectangular and appears to have one original edge. Fragment B is also sub-rectangular and has been clearly folded at least four times. The longer edge is original, as appears to be the outer edge, indicating that this was once a flat, rectangular sheet. The surface is difficult to see owing to the poor state of preservation, but it appears to have had some kind of pressed decoration. In some ways this item resembles Roman lamella.

A Roman gold finger-ring, crushed and severely distorted. Its tripartite construction comprises a symmetrical pair of slender bands flanking, and fused to, a central beaded wire. At the bezel the outer edge of both bands expands to form a sub-triangular field. This is occupied by a lozenge-shaped cell formed from beaded wire with a single pellet at each end of the long axis. A further two pairs of pellets flank the beaded wire either side of the lozenges. The lozenge motif is reminiscent of the cells on Roman 'Hercules club' type ear-rings and pendants, some of which are filled with e…
