Description: | A cast copper alloy annular buckle and pin of probable late fourteenth century date (Medieval), now in two pieces (with part of the frame broken). The buckle frame measures 46.37mm in diameter (internal 34.34mm) and it weighs 26.18g. The pin measures 51.67mm in length.The circular frame is undecorated and there is no constriction for the pin, which has been separately cast. It is slightly thicker to one side than the other.At one end of the pin is a loop which is wrapped around the frame and the other end tapers slightly towards the rounded end, where it has a shallow (intentional) notch on the underside where it rests on the frame. On the front of the pin, adjacent to the loop, is a raised rectangular area decorated with seven transverse grooves. Two similar buckles can be seen in 'Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast' (2007, p. 87, nos. 430 and 432).
