His undergraduate degree was interrupted by Ramm serving in the Royal Artillery during the Second World War.
[3] He provided significant contributions to the RCHME volume on Eboracum (1962) and to the Victoria County History of York.
Ramm's 1978 publication on The Parisi was the first substantial work dealing solely with this Iron Age tribe and its origins.
[4] Ramm joined the Yorkshire Philosophical Society (YPS) in the 1950s and served as a member of its council from 1956 onwards.
[1] An annual memorial prize of £400 is issued in his name by the YPS to a postgraduate student at the University of York who has submitted the best dissertation on an archaeological subject that year.
