2. Silver ring, bezel (which was circular) lost : shoulders (angular) and 

 hoop moulded and engraved ; the hoop, which is decorated to resemble a 

 pair of animals' heads, has been cut and re-joined to make it smaller.. Maxi- 

 mum diameter, 1-0 inch. (See Fig. 2.) 



3. Silver ring, bezel (which was octagonal) lost ; shoulders (rounded) and 

 hoop lightly engraved. Maximum diameter, 0-9 inch. 



4. Circular frame of silver bezel, from which setting has been lost ; flange 

 milled. Diameter, 09 inch. 



5. Oval frame of silver bezel, setting destroyed, plain. Maximum 

 diameter, 0'85 inch. 



6. Flat silver ring, probably part of a bezel. Maximum diameter, 0-7 inch. 



With these was also found a piece of transparent green glass, 

 from the rim of an angular vessel. Length, ll inch. 



The rings 1 and 2 should be compared with those from Sully 

 {Num. Chron., 1900, PI. III. 9 and 10). No. 3, on the other hand, 

 is of much poorer workmanship, and perhaps later than the others. 

 The occurrence of these rings with coins ranging down to the end 

 of the fourth century shows that, although the type of ring may 

 have originated in the third century (as is clear from the numismatic 

 evidence of the Sully hoard), it was in use down to a later date.

Note. — As the above account is being passed for press, I note 



that I have been enabled recently to examine a very similar hoard 



from Icklingham, in Suffolk ; a description thereof will, I hope, 



appear before long in the Numismatic Chronicle.
