CORONER'S REPORT Description of Find A small gold finger-ring with near-circular hoop, which expands to form the simple narrow ovoid bezel. In its lightly-convex surface, which appears much worn, is a small curved indentation, perhaps the last vestige of an engraved motif. Discussion Except for a bevelling of the inner edge of the hoop the form of the ring is similar to a Roman type which often has an engraved image on the bezel - bird, lion, bust etc., but above all, in Britain, a stylised palm branch (cf. 2006 T463 and 2006 T588 of gold; also 2005 T230 and 2006 T418 of silve…

CURATOR'S REPORT Description of Find Gold wire ring, comprising two strands of bevelled wire loosely twisted together. The ends of the wire have been hammered flat to fuse them together and close the loop. Discussion The ring bears resemblance to ear-rings of the Roman period, but would not have functioned as such. It may have been a finger-ring, but the hoop is rather narrow. The ring was found in close association with KENT-7413A7; a sub-triangular piece of silver ingot, with one flattened edge. It is impossible to say if the two items are associated. Additional Meas…

A Roman gold finger ring of 'keeled' type of Henig Type VIII which generally dates to the 3rd century AD. The plain D-section hoop widens into triangular shoulders, decorated with three flutes. On the lower inside of the band there is a small fold in the metal, but the ring is in good condition and unworn. The ring is mounted with a prominent oval bezel consisting of a dark red carnelian intaglio encased within a box setting. The intaglio portrays in profile, a standing winged figure, probably Victory, facing left. It is rendered in a crude style but some detail can be made out in the…

Plain gold ring of slightly distorted circular shape made from circular-sectioned wire, about 1.5mm in diameter. The ring is quite rudimentarily formed and its scarfed join is still visible. Probably intended as a finger-ring, it is also possible that it was part of a simple ear-ring or necklace. The simple form is undiagnostic, but a Roman date is conceivable.
