Medieval copper alloy ring mail
Ring mail links. All riveted closed through flattened terminals.
Martijn A. Wijnhoven confirmed medieval (14th-15th century AD) date. Context is not inconsistent with a find spot above the extant Roman remains ('footings') after the 'slighting' of the 14th century. See Wheeler and Wheeler. See also Prysg Field Caerleon example 32.60/3.14.
