Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy single-loop buckle, dating from the Late Medieval to early post-Medieval periods.The frame is oval, its upper surface sloping downwards and outwards, a pointed pin rest projecting from the centre of the outer side. A pair of projecting tabs at the other end of the frame represent the remains of the forked spacer which would have separated the now-missing plates. A wire pin is looped around the central constriction separating these tabs.Dimensions: 27.8mm long, 23.9mm wide, 4.3mm thick. Weight: 3.84g.Examples of buckles with forked spacers were found at Meols, Merseyside (Griffiths et al 2007: 93). Evidence from excavations elsewhere suggests a date range of late 14th to early 16th century (ibid).
