Description: | Cast copper alloy Medieval buckle plate which would have had an integral frame but it has broken. The plate is generally linear and expands at either end into moulded circular ends. In cross- section it is D-shaped with the back being flat. The plate is broken just at the junction with the frame which would have been oval. This type of buckle has been dated from the early 13th century onwards. It is possible that they were used for spurs but this has not been proved. Similar examples have been found at Meols on the Wirral (Egan, Philpott and Griffiths; 2007; 103-5).
