Cast copper alloy ring, incised lines decorating one face. The ring has a sqaure-ish cross section with both faces being flat. It is not a finger ring. This type of ring is hard to date as it is a very simple design which has been used for a long time. Due to the patina of the ring (an even dark green) it is most likely to be Late-Medieval in date.

Cast copper alloy circular ring, possibly Roman in date. Plain ring with a rectangular cross section. It is corroded and the edges are slightly worn. There are lozenge shaped grooves decorating the outside face of the ring. It could have been a finger ring for a child as it is very small in diameter. Equally it could have been used on a belt or other fitting. The patina of this ring suggests it could be Roman. The edges of the ring are a light green which indicates corrosion. The main surface is a brown colour due to mud. Rings of this plain form are hard to date and assign a function …

Silver finger ring. This find went through the Treasure process but was declared not treasure. Description: The ring consists of a hoop of plano-convex section which expands at the front to form a slightly ovoid bezel. The latter is punch-incised with three letters, possibly to be read in reverse order as the last on the right appears to be a reversed 'G'. The first letter is a 'T' and the central one is a vertical line with a slash through it, forming a rune-like character, although it is uncertain if it was intended to represent a rune as such, or some other letter. On the righ…

Roman gold finger-ring of keeled type, the D-sectioned hoop widening to sub-triangular angular shoulders with a triangular notch on each edge close to the bezel.

Copper alloy late Medieval signet ring. It has a circular bezel with the letter I in the centre. On either side is a palm, above is a crown. The bezel is set out of the hoop. The hoop is sub-circular, it has been mis-shapen. There are some remains of gilding on the ring, it would have been gilded all over but most of this has worn off. 15th century in date it is very similar to ones in the collections of the Salisbury Museum, nos. 17 and 18 (part 1; Saunders, E and P; 1991; 42/46).

Treasure number- 2008 T716. Roman silver finger ring, complete, with an oval hoop which expands and swells to a flattened bezel set with an oval, orangey-red carnelian intaglio.

Roman silver finger ring of semi-circular section and oval profile which swells to a wide flattened bezel, set with an ovoid orange-red carnelian intaglio flush with the bezel; this is engraved with a bird standing left holding a morsel of food in its beak. Scientific examination shows that the ring appears to be hollow but may originally have had a copper core plated thickly with silver which explains its mostly dull grey appearance.

Copper alloy finger ring. The ring is grooved to make it appear twisted on the outer edge of the hoop; where it lies on the finger it is flat. The bezel is octagonal in shape and has some incised decoration of a bird facing left in flight. Similar finger-rings tend to be identified as medieval; compare SOM-B5D177, KENT-D6261D and KENT-9D82DB (all dated to the late medieval period by the lettering on the bezel). The twisted hoop is thought to be a 15th century fashion (Egan in Griffiths et al 2007, 162)
