Description: | Incomplete copper alloy sheet buckle plate. The plate is roughly rectangular with a rectangular tab extending from one edge which would have looped over the buckle frame, the curve of the loop and back plate are missing. The same edge is broken further up where a second tab would have extended, the break is patinated. A double row of indented dots runs parallel to each edge. Running parallel to the edge opposite the tabs, inside the dotted border, are three circular rivet holes, one near each corner and one centrally. The central hole is more distorted. There is extensive remains of a white metal coating on the front. The plate is 27.6mm wide by 23.5mm long excluding the tab, 27.9mm including it, it is 0.5mm thick and weighs 2.16 grams.The decoration and general form and style is similar to Medieval buckle plates such as HAMP-A19455 and HAMP-933527, although without the more diagnostic buckle frame a Roman or Early Medieval date cannot be fully ruled out.
