The fragment indicates the buckle had trefoil (debased fleur-de-lis) sides with trefoil mouldings at either end of the strap bar.

There are flecks of tinning on both sides.Weight 1.36gLength of fragment 21.9mm, width of fragment 18.3mm, thickness 1.8mm.A good parallel can be seen in Whitehead (p71 no 444) who dates these to the 17th and very early 18th centuries.
