The front face of the slide consists of an oval plate with raised and pinched pointed ends. The points have shallow arrises and there is a large dominant design in the centre. The design features a large incised circle, with a raised circle inside that. The circle then features a chip-carved design of a cross, which is raised. The cells around the arms of the cross would once have been enamelled but this has now been lost. But traces can still be seen which indicate that the quarters were coloured red and green alternately. The reverse of the main plate is flat and has a rim. Projecting out from behind the tips are the remains of the rectangular loop of the strap slide. Only the stumps of copper alloy survives. The metal is a dark brownish-green mottled colour and is pitted. This strap slide is similar to others that have been found in Yorkshire and the North-east. It is similar to PAS database No: YORYM-40B2C1. It survives in a very good condition. An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap slide, dating to between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.
