Description: | An incomplete buckle plate and a fragment of buckle. The plate is sub-rectangular in plan which is folded almost in half around the strap bar of a buckle. Only the strap bar remains of the buckle. In the fold of the buckle plate there have been two slots cut to allow for two pins. One pin is now missing, the other is incomplete. The pin is oval in section and tapers to a blunt broken point. Joining the two plates together there is a single dome-headed rivet which appears to have a square washer on the reverse. Both terminals of the plates are broken. The upper plate is decorated with traces of gilding. The plate also has traces of a dark green patina. The plate measure 38.6mm long, 20.65mm wide and 6.43mm thick, weighing 8.8g. The buckle plate is probably of a Medieval date, probably mid 13th to 14th centuries.
