The rectangular headplate is decorated with a large centrally placed double ring-and-dot and with a row of stamped impressions along the sides and top edge. The impression is ovoid and is made of very much smaller ovoids.

At the top of the footplate a pair of transverse grooves is followed by a pair of edge notches, then a second pair of grooves above short chamfers. The half-round moulding consists of two broad ribbed mouldings with four and three transverse grooves. The surviving part of the terminal carries small ring-and-dot impressions. Incomplete single pin lug with iron staining and incomplete catchplate on reverse. Leeds 1945 square-head (plain) type. Length 59mm. Width 26mm. Late 5th - early 6th century.
