Map

Late 1997. Metal detecting. [1].
Curious decorative early post medieval finger ring. Hoop seems quite well made, with two transverse grooves on each shoulder, but the circular bezel is supported on a massive thickening of the hoop, which has two scoops cut out of it on either side, as if to make is less heavy. Bezel shallowly engraved with a quatrefoil, each foil filled with oblique grooves, within a plain lozenge on a grooved ground with a plain border around.
Ident H.Geake (NCM).

Information from PAS import.
