Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy single-loop buckle.The piece represents part of a frame and integral forked spacer. The frame appears to have been oval in plan. The adjacent forked spacer has a rectangular tab either side of the central axis bar. At the frame end of the spacer is a vertical ridge. The more complete side of the spacer steps into a remnant of a projecting prong. The piece measures 16.6mm long, 23.1mm wide and 4.3mm thick. The weight is 4.09g.Examples of buckles with integral forked spacers were found at Meols, Cheshire and are common finds throughout England. The stratigraphic evidence from excavations in London, York and Coventry suggests a date of late 14th to possibly early 16th century (Griffiths et al 2007: 93).
