Found ring is declared treasure

A ROMAN silver ring found in North Lincolnshire has been deemed as treasure.

An inquest at the Civic Centre in Scunthorpe heard that the Roman silver ring – dated between the second and third century AD – was discovered on land in Kirton in Lindsey.

Details of who found the ring and when or where it was discovered were not revealed.

Deputy Coroner Andrew Pascoe said: "I record that this is treasure."Discussions will now take place with the British Museum and, no doubt, the local museum."
