Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy single-loop buckle.The frame is sub-oval in plan, extending to a pointed pin rest at the centre of the outer side. The surfaces of the frame slope downwards and outwards. The buckle is missing its two plates, but the central forked spacer remains. At the frame end this spacer steps inwards and there is a slightly higher transverse band, at the centre of which is a short axis bar. No trace of the pin survives.The object measures 35.8mm long, 20.2mm wide and 3.3mm thick. The weight is 3.47g.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 range of late 14th to early 16th century AD (Griffiths et al 2007: 93).
