A silver finger ring.
The ring is sub-oval, slightly squashed in form, and formed from a single thin sheet of silver.
The ring has decoration in the form of two thin incisions along part of its face. There is no hallmark, and the rest of the ring is plain.
The ring is difficult to date and while there have been a number of Roman finds within the vicinity, the ring does not appear to be of obvious Roman form. The ring could be much later, possibly medieval, post medieval or modern.

A warped copper alloy ring with pointed oval cross section and slightly uneven thickness of unknown date. It has a red green colour. The ring in its warped state is 34.4mm long, 14.5mm wide, 2mm thick and weighs 1.85 grams.
Such rings are largely undatable and can be as early as Iron Age, but it is most likely a Medieval to Post-Medieval horse harness ring, possibly to link two straps given how it is worn in two places.
