Thin gold ring, the band misshapen, with plain exterior, the interior inscribed: 'Piety the best monument', with maker's mark TS in a rectangle. It has not proved possible to identify the maker's mark from available sources, and as this is a type which goes on into the second quarter of the 18th century, there is not enough evidence to confirm a pre-1708 date.

A medieval finger-ring formed of a slender band which broadens slightly to create a bezel, decorated with a cross between two incised triangles. The hoop of the ring is badly distorted. The ring is gold and dates from the thirteenth century. Dimensions: diameter 19 mm. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.

Post-Medieval gold finger-ring. Gold finger-ring with flattish band, inscribed inside in lower case 'be true in hart', with very faint maker's mark, which may possibly read ? H Date: probably 17th Century or perhaps early 18th Century. Discussion: A posy ring in the BM with similar short inscription 'In trust be juste' has what appears to be the same maker's mark, the letters HT conjoined with the T above the H, but it has not been identified in any of the standard reference works (1961,1202.414). Nonetheless the balance of probability is that this ring is more than 300…

A fragment of gold jewellery, possibly part of an earring dating to the Roman period. The fragment comprises a flat sheet of gold which has been folded and is approximately semi-circular in plan. The fragment measures 4mm in length, 6mm in width and 0.5mm in thickness. The fragment weighs 0.1 grams. Its shape may suggest that it is part of an Allason-Jones Type 13 earring of single or double boss type, dating to the first or second century AD (Allason-Jones 1989, 10). However, it is too fragmentary to identify with any certainty.
