A complete gold finger ring of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1750 - 1950. The object is circular with a thick D-shaped section.

The ring is 25.4mm in diameter, 5.6mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 11.8g. The finger ring has been seen by curators at the British Museum who state that, due to the undiagnostic nature of the object it cannot be securely dated and, as such, would fall outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
