Cast copper alloy strap fitting or buckle of Medieval date. The frame is sub-circular in plan with a narrowed offset bar at one end and a rounded collared knop projecting from the opposite edge, forming a finial. There is no pin present but if the item functioned as a strap loop, rather than as a buckle, it may not have had one. Both buckles and strap loops are known in this design. The item is dated c.1250-1450.

A sheet copper-alloy strap fitting or strap end of Medieval date. It is missing its terminal and and lower plate due to old breaks. The object is flat, rectangular in form with slightly concave sides and attachment end. At the terminal end is an incomplete transverse ridge that is convex in form, possibly to hold in place a strap clasp or similar object. The front face of the plate has punched and incised decoration comprising borders down each side formed from a double band of punched triangles with a wavy line flanked by punched triangles on their interior edge.

A slightly worn and corroded, cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, small and sub-hemispherical in form. The convex, central lobe is crossed by seven neatly incised transverse lines that create ridges. The two smaller perforated side lobes both retain their rivets. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Read (2001, 23; fig. 12) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century.

A copper alloy loop from a swivel type of strap fitting dating from the Medieval period. It consists of one of originally two oval frames, each with a loop ending in zoomorphic terminals attached to a hollowed flattened hemispherical centre. The hollow area would have held a corresponding rivet projecting from the other half. The animal moulding is very worn. The mouth clasps the flattened-hemispherical centrepiece. Such swivels were used on a range of strap fittings including animal leashes, hanging purses and sword belt fittings and were probably in use for the entire Medi…

Outer side of a Medieval cast copper alloy strap slide. The outer side is D-shaped in section with a flat inner side. One corner remains and appears plain, the other is missing to a worn break. The outer side widens towards the centre where there is a oval expansion flanked by narrower collars across the outer side. The piece is 16.4mm long, 4.8mm wide and 3.5mm thick; it weighs 0.83 grams.
