Description: | A fragment from a copper-alloy buckle plate of late 4th to early 5th century AD date. This piece is an example of the so-called 'Soldiers and settlers' material of Roman to Early-medieval transitional period. It is classified as type IIA buckle plate (see S.C. Hawkes and C.G. Dunning; 1961; pp. 53). Only the bottom part of what would originally have been a sub-rectangular buckle plate remains. At the bottom of the plate are the remnants of three circular apertures, the best surviving of which extends upwards into wider, more angular opening. The outer edge of the plate has moulded lobes, one at the bottom having a vertical groove. The intact bottom left hand corner contains a punched ring-and-dot motif. The piece measures 26.9mm wide, 12.7mm long and 2mm thick. The weight is 2.27g.
