Description: | Medieval copper alloy single looped buckle with roller and fragment of pin. The frame is broadly 'D' shaped in plan with a straight, narrowed and recessed strap bar and a curved and widened outer edge. The centre of the outer edge has a broadly rectangular copper alloy sheet roller. An thickening in the centre of the strap bar suggests the remains of a copper alloy pin, originally bent around the strap bar before extending to meet the roller. Now only a small fragment remains, close to the strap bar. It measures 25mm long and 18mm wide.Griffiths, Philpott and Egan (2007: 84) illustrate a similar buckle, with a more straigtened outer edge which they assign to the late 13th/early 14th centuries. It is a MEOLS class 12. Whitehead (2003:19) also illustrates a similar buckle, closer in shape, but more decorative, no. 58 which he dates 1250-1500 AD.
