Dorchester. 



This seems to be a finger ring. It is of 

 metal, about 5-1 6th in. in width. Two 

 shallow flutings go nearly round its 

 surface. Where they stop, and where 

 there is a fracture, it is possible that a 

 bezil may have been. 



All Saints' Glebe, Dorchester. 



Two rings, rin. in outer diameter, 

 looped together. They may have be- 

 longed to harness. 



Six little rings found at Somerleigh Court, 

 Dorchester. 



89, imperfect and quite plain. 90, with 

 a bezil for a stone or glass, now empty. 



91, flat in the plane of its diameter. 

 This can hardly be a finger ring. Possibly 

 it is a little brooch which has lost its pin. 



92, a ring of uncommon (?) shape. Half 

 of its circumference is circular. The other 

 half consists of a very small bezil, not 

 socketted for a setting, joined to the curved 

 part by two nearly straight pieces, one end 

 of each forming a well marked angle where 

 it unites with the curved portion. 93, 

 another angular ring ; within it is round, 

 outside it is heptagonal. 94, a very small 

 ring, only in. across within. Each edge is 

 notched, the two sets of notches alternating 

 so as to produce a zigzag pattern. 



Dorchester. 



Ten rings which for the most part require 

 no special remark. Three, 98, 101, and 104
