A thin gold ring shaped object, with ornate spiralled design and oval lilac stone setting. Dark areas indicate that this object could consist of gold leaf over another material. This may not have originally been a finger-ring; the material is extremely thin, too thin to conceivably be used to construct a finger-ring. It is indicated that the item has been straightened and glued, making identification difficult. The object is not in its original state and so identification in the current condition could be misleading and therefore there is no evidence to date to pre 1711.

Treasure case 2009 T626 Description: Plain gold band; slightly misshapen. Flattened edges on the band indicate that this is a fitting rather that a finger-ring. There are no diagnostic features to this fitting and as such it is impossible to date. Dimensions: Diameter: 14mm. Thickness: 1mm. Weight: 1.2g Conclusion: Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it cannot be securely dated to pre-1709 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

A gold ring of uncertain date. The ring has been badly damaged by the plough and as a result has been pulled out of shape. The ring is complete and still roughly circular (maximum diameter 23.09mm) and the gold is very thin (only 1.03mm thick). The maximum width of the hoop is about 4.7mm. There is no decoration on the ring, and it does not look worn; it may have been a decorative binding ring, for example from a walking stick, instead of a finger-ring.

Gold ring. A thin possibly lightly hammered ring, perhaps of drawn wire, now distorted and bent. The band is twisted at one point. The current sad form is probably the result of adventitious damage. Thin gold wires might form parts of Roman pendant ear rings, though a much later use as a finger ring or necklace component, or an origin as debris from craftwork is equally possible.

A complete gold-alloy ring of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1750 - 1950. The object is circular with raised rims to the upper and lower edges. No decoration or hallmarks are present.

In the absence of metallurgical analysis it is unclear as to whether the metal is gold. Furthermore, due to the undiagnostic nature of the object it cannot be securely dated and, as such, would appear to fall outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
