Composite medieval gold iconographic finger ring with an oval bezel and a D-sectioned hoop comprised of an inner and an outer band. These have sprung apart in two places because of distortion.

A complete copper alloy signet ring of post-medieval date. The finger ring has a sub-circular bezel with a crude engraving. The engraving is in the form of a heater-style shield within a border of dots around a linear score; the field of the shield has been divided into two, with one half depicting the outline of an Irish harp while the other field has indistinct scratches, possibly an unfinshed design attempting to imitate the flag of St George. The shoulders taper into the undecorated hoop. The imagery on the shield is interesting, as is the findspot and its association with the …

An incomplete copper-alloy signet finger ring. The ring has a large oval bezel decorated with an incised design for impressing into wax seals. Most of the band is missing, but what remains is narrow and oval sectioned.The bezel is much wider than the band and is decorated with a double shield design of a harp (on the left) and a plain cross (on the right) surrounded by a framing groove. When the impression was made this would have produced a design similar to those used during the English Commomwealth: i.e. a harp and the cross of St George. It is therefore likely that this ring da…
