The integral plate tapers away from the frame to a squared-off end. It has three circular piercings in a line along the centre; that closest to the frame contains a flat copper alloy pin, the others are unoccupied. There is a small pointed knop on each side of the frame at the point where it meets the plate. The buckle has a patchy, dark green patina. It is 26.3mm long, 16.8mm wide and 3.5mm thick. It weighs 2.09gm.A similar buckle is illustrated in Griffiths, Philpott and Egan, 2007, Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast, plate 17, number 772.
