Description: | Cast copper alloy double looped buckle of probable later medieval - post medieval date (1400-1700). The buckle frame is sub-rectangular with a slight central bar to which a pin would have been attached. This bar is positioned to sub-divide the frame irregularly. The pin is missing. There is slight contraction or recessed pin rest on the straight edge of the frame, the curved edge is unmarked. There is no decoration on the frame.The buckle measures 22.7mm long, 16.2mm wide, is 2.5mm thick and weighs 2.54 grams. The buckle is a brass colour with no surface patina; this has been removed by the finder using a barrelling machine. Movement in the ploughsoil has resulted in the buckle becoming asymmetrical, and slightly bowed in profile. Similar examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', pages 90-91, and a close comparison can be seen in examples 569-570 dated by Whitehead to the period 1575-1700.
