Description: | A copper-alloy buckle plate. The plate is rectangular and has a single rivet hole at the strap attachment end, the rivet is intact although corroded. The plate would have been attached to the buckle frame by a frame recess produced by folding the metal. A cut was then made for the pin slot. The object has however broken at the fold. No traces of decoration remain on the obverse or reverse. The buckle plate is medieval in date. Precise dating of plates is difficult without a secure archaeological context but the plate is likely to date from between 1230 and 1450. Examples of buckles and plates are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, pages 110-113; figs 499-530).
