A small plain double-looped oval buckle, cast in copper alloy. The buckle measures 23.3mm in length, 19.1mm in width, it is 3.7mm thick and weighs 3.17g. It is not quite symmetrical. The front of the buckle is convex and the back is flat. The central bar is slightly narrowed and the pin is missing. This simple style of buckle was used right through the Middle Ages and into the post-medieval period, so it is not possible to give it a more precise date (Cuddeford 1996, p. 20).

A cast copper alloy buckle with integral plate of medieval date. The buckle measures 30.75mm by 14.47mm by 3.6mm and weighs 2.81g. The loop is trapezoidal and the plate has curvilinear sides, each with two tapering projections, and a rounded end. There are two perforations in the plate which are filled with iron corrosion. The hole beside the loop presumably accommodated the (missing) pin and the other hole was for a rivet. This buckle probably dates from the later 13th or 14th century AD and may have functioned as a spur buckle (see Egan and Pritchard 1991, p. 106-8).
