The artefact is an irregular D-shape with prominent protruding outer edge such that it tends towards the sub-triangular. The strap bar is narrowed and off-set and is missing its pin. Its terminals are expanded but divided from the sides by grooves on the upper surface. The protrusion forms the pin rest and features a shallow central pin groove along its width. It terminates with in a rounded curve. The upper surface is decorated with horizontal incisions. The lower surface of the artefact is flat and plain. The object has a dark brown patina but is covered in many places in a lighter corrosion product. Similar examples can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 24). Whitehead suggests that these buckles date from the 13th and 14th centuries.The buckle is 23.25mm in length, 29.4mm wide, 3.35mm thick and weighs 4.0 grams.
