Although very worn it is far from certain whether they are associated.

A gold gem-set ring of medieval date with an inscribed hoop, which has become distorted, most likely by post-depositional damage. The bezel is constructed from gold sheet and is hollow and rectangular, measuring 10.27mm by 10.1mm and 4mm thick, with a sub-rectangular cross section. It is flanked by a pair of small flanges decorated with a ridged pattern of small parallel lines. The stone itself is sub-rectangular and has a heavily abraded surface; this damage in the absence of any mechanical abrasion to the gold suggests geochemical erosion and that the material is amber. The hoop, w…

Gold, Bronze age, penannular ring, 1150-750 BC. Possibly a cast solid gold ring though some examples have shown that they are gold coated copper alloy cores, such as NMS-183C7E. The ring is circular in section with flat opposed terminals. These rings are often erroneously referred to as 'ring money' though there is no evidence to suggest that they were used as currency. They are predominantly believed to have been used for personal adornment, such as earrings or nose rings, they have even been suggested as hair ornaments.

Incomplete medieval gold finger ring, AD.1200-1400. The ring has broken with the band becoming separated from the bezel at the join. The bezel is a hexagonal setting for a stone or glass gem that is now missing. The bezel has been slightly crushed distorting the original shape.When complete the ring would have had quite a large internal diameter, perhaps suggesting a glove ring or a large male hand. It is made from gold and the closed nature of the bezel but absence of any evidence for the gem would suggest that this was glass and has broken up and been lost. A ring with a similar bez…

An Iron Age gold stater, attributed to the Southern tribes of the Atrebates or Regini and dating from c. 60-50 BC. Cf.: ABC no. 485, of 'Selsey Two-face' type (Cottam 2010:47). The face of the coin with 'wreath' design is unclear and the other face depicting a triple-tailed horse right with wheel below and charioteer's arms above has been struck high, eliminating the upper portion of the design. However, the remaining detail suggests that this identification is correct. Where the coin has spread at its circumference it is possible that this has exposed that the coin is in fact …
