Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle of Medieval date.The frame is sub-trapezoidal, the long sides bowing outwards. A sheet metal roller is wrapped around the vertical outer side. The damaged plate has been folded around the axis bar and much of the underside is missing. The upper part of the plate is rectangular, has a circular perforation at the centre of the frame end (for attachment of the now-missing pin) and a single rivet hole at the opposite end. The artefact measures 25.8mm long, 16.5mm wide, 4.1mm thick and weighs 2.57g.Single-loop buckles with sheet metal rollers were found at Meols, Cheshire, where they were assigned a late 13th to early 14th century date, based on the dating of excavated examples from other sites (Egan 2007: 90/pl. 14, cf. no. 554).
