The Ringlemere Gold Cup is a Bronze Age vessel found in the Ringlemere barrow near Sandwich in the English county of Kent in 2001. Its discovery started the whole research and excavation into what turned out to be the Ringlemere Barrow and the other ring marks etc in the soil around it. It further inspired research by the British Museum and others into the connection between the Ringlemere Cup and others like it, all described in the book The Ringlemere Cup (see below).
