The lip has a notched centre for the pin to rest in formed by an incised line. This is flanked with another incised line at either side. The frame is broadly triangular in section with a flat back and inner side with a curving front. The strap bar is rectangular in section. The pin is missing. It measures 16.1mm long, 13.5mm wide and 1.9mm thick; it weighs 0.87g.Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan (2007:91) e.g. no.497. This example is a Meols type 3 and it is suggested they date from the late 14th centuries (ibid:88).
