A gold finger ring of medieval date. The finger ring is complete, with a circular hoop that is D-shaped in cross-section. The convex outer surface is decorated with an inscription separated into three, separated by motifs of a transverse groove with three radiating leaves to either side.

Description: A bent gold finger ring engraved with a heart with crossed arrows on each side flanked by scrolling foliage. The band is D-shaped in section and the inside bears the inscription 'Kindly take this for my sake' followed by a stamped IY (or IV). Discussion: See ring in the British Museum collections, 1961,1202.116, for a ring with the same mark, probably that of John Young entered in 1760 and in use until at least 1793. The find dates to later than 1712 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
