Description: | An incomplete Medieval iron annular buckle (c. 1250-c. 1450).It has been assumed that the object is a buckle rather than a brooch as there is no obvious constriction for the pin. The frame is circular in plan and circular in cross-section. However, some of the frame is incomplete due to damage or corrosion. The iron pin is fused to the frame and appears to be circular in cross-section. It has a length of 15.52mm and a width at the loop of 3.40mm.The frame and pin are heavily corroded overall.Annular buckles are difficult to date due to the lack of diagnostic decorative features.Whitehead (1996, 17) gives a wide date range of c. 1250 - c. 1450. However, iron examples found in London illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 59-60) tend to come from late 13th-century/early 14th-century contexts (c.1270-c. 1400).
