Description: | Buckle plate made from a T-shaped piece of copper-alloy sheet with the stem of the T bent over and secured with three rivets, none of which survives. The two outer rivet holes cut through the edge of the smaller under-plate. The fold has a wide pin slot cut out of it. The upper plate is not quite rectangular; one corner is fragmentary and the other has a deliberately cut-off corner. It is decorated with two engraved saltires; the lines are made up of individual punchmarks. The metal has corroded to a matt brown with green patches. It is 26 mm wide and 15 mm long. The buckle plate is medieval; it cannot be closely dated within the period, but is perhaps more likely to belong to the earlier part than the later part.
