Description: | An undecorated rectangular copper alloy plate with three holes perforating one of the shorter sides, probably the plate from a medieval buckle. The back plate and buckle are missing. The two outer holes would have held rivets and the inner one woula allow the buckle pin to go through it. The finder however thinks this is a plate of Roman lorica squamata but these have pairs of holes on two or three sides of the plate rather than one and the lower edge is usually curved rather than straight. See NCL-E067C2 & NCL-E049A6 for two examples from the Durham area.
