Interpretation

    • An iron ring of uncertain date which is obscured by concretions (SF 21), Rom AD43 to 410. The block in which it is embedded is a rectangular shape and where the base joins the loop the surface forms a semi-circular interface. These objects are ubiquitous finds in Roman excavations (Manning, 1985, p. 140). It is also not possible to assign a definite function to them, as they may have been used in a number of situations, from harness fittings or chain links, to furniture handles (Manning, 1985, p. 140).
