Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap fitting, buckle plate or similar object of probable later Medieval to early Post-Medieval date. It is flat, rectangular in form and missing one corner due to old breaks. Each of the surviving corners has a circular rivet hole and at the centre of the front(?) face there appear to be several incised lines. These form a geometric pattern comprising two pairs of transverse grooves, joined to one another by two separate groups of vertical grooves. They do not appear to resemble lettering, although this remains uncertain due to the preservation of the object. It measures 21.71mm in length, 18.71mm in width, 0.75mm in thickness, and weighs 1.77g. This is probably a plate from a buckle or strap fitting and is likely to date to between the 14th and 17th centuries AD.
