Description: | A copper-alloy object, likely to be a buckle plate. The plate is sub-rectangular but is unfortunately broken and its design when complete is difficult to discern. There are two rivet holes (no rivets remain), side by side beneath a probable pin slot. It is likely that the metal folded over at this point to form a frame recess. No traces of decoration remain on the object. The plate is bent slightly out of shape. It 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).
