Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy sub-oval buckle with an ornate outer edge together with its hinged buckle plate. On the buckle frame two knops flank a constriction containing two incised grooves adjacent to the knops which would have functioned as pin rests. The pin, however, is missing. The plate is rectangular in shape, 33.0mm in length and 14.0mm in width. It is 3.55mm thick. It is of folded sheet construction with a pin slot and frame recesses. It features five rivet holes. These are located two towards the hinged end, two towards the attachment end, and one centrally between these two pairs. The pair of rivets near the hinged end are in situ; a further rivet survives ex situ, while the other two are now missing. On the reverse half of the plate is missing following old damage towards the attachment end. This buckle and plate date from the medieval period and it is similar to examples given in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 76-77; figs. 314ff.) found within an archaeological context dating between c. 1270 to c. 1350.
