Description: | A copper-alloy Single-loop buckle of medieval date. Whitehead suggests a date for this buckle type of c. 1350-1400 (1996; pp. 27), although the recorder knows of no examples from securely dated stratigraphic contexts.The frame is trapezoidal in plan, narrowing slightly towards the axis bar. The horizontal frame sides are of thin rectangular section. The outer side is wide, slopes downwards on its outer edge and has a central pin rest comprising three transverse grooves and two ridges. The copper-alloy wire pin is looped around the axis bar and sits within a hole in the plate. Only the upper plate remains. It is sub-rectangular in plan and is broken at the frame end. The object measures 33.6mm long, 12.2mm wide and 3.7mm thick. The weight is 1.9g.
