Description: | A copper-alloy frame from a Medieval single-loop buckle.The frame is of flat section and is sub-trapezoidal in plan. A dome-headed rivet occupies the pin rest area, with a further such rivet located at each of the two central angles; these rivets have been applied to the frame and their flattened points are visible on the frame's underside. The axis bar is of circular section and is parallelled at each end by a groove which cuts across the frame. The inner sides of the frame have convex edges, and the outer sides, which converge towards the pin rest, have concave outer edges.Length: 23mm; width: 27.7mm; thickness: 5.2mm. Weight: 4.83g.A parallel for this frame was found at Meols, Merseyside, and was compared to other known examples, from Staines, Winchester, New Romney (Kent) and Pocklington (E. Yorks) (Egan, in Griffiths et al 2007: 102, no. 759). A date of mid/late 13th century was suggested, based on the context of the Winchester example (ibid.).
