Description: | A late Medieval lead alloy annular buckle dating to the late 14th - early 15th century. This buckle has a circular frame with a circular cross-section and a casting seam around the edge. A short section of casting sprue may also be evident (uppermost in image). There are no obvious markings on the frame that could be attributable to the pin, although the frame is slightly narrowed and distorted near the casting sprue. The pin is now missing. Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard (2002:61). They were excavated from contexts dating from the late 14th to early 15th centuries and are described as shoe buckles. This form of buckle is also stated as continuing in use into the post medieval period.Diameter: 16mm, Weight: 2gReference: Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002.
