Description: | A complete copper alloy single looped (D shaped) buckle, of Post Medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1650).The buckle frame is complete, part of the pin is incomplete and the plate is missing, presumed lost in antiquity.The frame of the buckle is sub-rectangular (D shaped) in plan with a recessed bar at one end to which the pin (incomplete) would have fitted. On the opposite is a sub-oval cast (acorn) projection / knop, with the possible remnants of a recessed pin rest. The other two parallel sides taper and flare along their lengths. A small amount of iron corrosion products are present wrapped around the recessed plate bar, this is probably the remnants of an iron pin.It measures 27.42 mm in length, 22.99 mm wide and 3.76 mm thick. It weighs 3.8 g.The buckle is mid-dark grey green colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.Several similar buckle frames have been recorded on the PAS database including HESH-200B24, SWYOR-ED3401, IOW-76CC41, CORN-2F5E02 and YORYM-C8B792. A comparative example has been published as no 143 by Whitehead (1996, p28) and has been dated from the 16th to 17th Centuries AD (AD 1500 to AD 1650).Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250-1800.
