It has a flat lozenge shaped plate with triangular keel on the front face set at an angle of 90 degrees to the plane of the plate. At one end of the plate is a circular terminal with central rivet hole, while at the other end is an incomplete hook/catch. The entire object measures 24.51mm in length, 7.51mm in width, 4.87mm in thickness including keel, and weighs 1.73g.This box catch is near identical to examples from Coddenham, Suffolk (West, 1998: nos. 21.19-20) and probably dates to the Early Anglo-Saxon period, c.500-720 AD.
