Category 3/4 tie ring, with a rectangular shaft 7 by 3 mm.
Webster (1992, 116-17) divided the tie rings into four different types: '1) Cast circular rings with basal transverse rib which extends beyond the line of the circle at the point of junction and with a short flat shank of rectangular cross-section. 2) Cast circular rings with basal transverse rib which extends beyond the line of the circle at the point of junction and with a long shank of circular cross-section. Cruder and heavier than those of category 1. 3) Cast rings shaped like the letter D on its side with shanks of rectangular cross-section. 4) Cast rings similar to those of category 3 but more elongated so that they describe an inverted U-shape. The shanks are of flat rectangular cross-section.
