The attachment end has two semi-circular notches, between which is a single central rivet with flattened round heads. A second similar rivet is just visible at the bottom centre of the plate above the terminal. The entire object measures 31.94mm in length, 15.08mm in width, 3.58mm in thickness and 4.73g in weight. It is of Medieval date, c.14th century Ad (as Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 660).
