Description: | Medieval copper alloy single looped buckle. The pin is missing. The frame is cast, rectangular in plan with a rectangular section on three sides and a sub-triangular section on the outer side. The outer edge is widened and tapers in thickness to the slightly pointed in section outer side. There are three incised transverse grooves on the front of the outer edge in the centre, a wider one which the pin would have rested flanked by two narrower ones. There is a slight notch in the centre of the strap bar and two small transverse ridges on the outer faces of the upper and lower sides, one near each end. It is 15.2mm long, 15.1mm wide, 3.1mm thick and 1.42g in weight.Griffiths et. al. (2007, pg 99, no. 710) illustrates a similar buckle which they date to the late 14th century (ibid, pg. 97) and categorise as Meols type C.
