Description: | A copper-alloy trapezoidal buckle. Whitehead suggests a date for this buckle type of mid 14th to mid 15th century (1996, p. 88), but the recorder knows of no examples from clearly dated stratigraphic contexts.The trapezoidal frame has a flat upper surface and the inner and outer edges angle downwards and outwards at approximately forty-five degrees. The axis bar is set just off-centre, slightly closer to the shorter vertical side. Adjoining a recess at the centre of the axis bar is a corroded remnant of the iron pin. Halfway down the longer vertcal side of the frame is an incised pin rest. The underside of the buckle is flat.The buckle measures 16.4mm long, 18.1mm wide and 3.4mm thick. The weight is 2.45g.
