Description: | A cast copper alloy Medieval buckle similar in style to Meols Type 4 and probably dating from the late 14th century. This is a single looped buckle of oval form with a D-shaped frame and an offset, narrowed bar. The frame has a circular cross section and narrows at each end towards the bar. The surface of the bar is much corroded so it is not clear whether the bar had a notch to accommodate the pin, and the pin itself is missing. The outer edge of the frame is pointed and appears not to have a pin notch. The buckle has a dark grey patina with some areas of green corrosion. For a similar example see Griffiths, D. et al. (2007) 'MEOLS The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast', Oxford University School of Archaeology, pages 85-6, fig. 84.4, and SWYOR-68AF24.
