Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double-loop buckle frame. The frame has two oval loops with flat backs and inner sides and rounded, angled, outer sides. The strap bar is narrowed and worn even thinner in the middle. The upper and lower edges at either end of the strap bar have straight outer sides. The pin and buckle plate are missing. The frame is slightly bent in profile and 26.8mm long, 21.8mm wide and 1.9mm thick. It weighs 2.32 grams. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (page 54, No.305) which he dates to c.1500-1650 AD.

An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of post-medieval date. The buckle is roughly one half of a double loop oval buckle with one surviving moulded knop at the end of the narrowed strap bar. The outer curved edge is decorated with three incised lines resulting in a serrated edge effect. The buckle is otherwise undecorated. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and is worn. The buckle is 31.6mm long, 20.1mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 2.7g. Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead, p.54 and are dated to circa 1500 - 1650.

Part of a cast copper-alloy buckle frame. The frame is broken and slightly twisted due to post-depositional damage. It is possible that it is a double oval frame but is more likely that it is an oval frame with decoration on the outside edge as it appears to narrow into an offset bar. The frame is decorated on the outside edge with two large knops with a collar between them and collars where they join the frame. Each knop has a v-shaped line engraved into it. The frame is d-shaped in section and has a flat back. It measures 22.11mm in length and 37.55mm in width and weighs 2.88g. Th…

Incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Medieval date. The buckle has a single oval looped frame with a lipped pin rest and an integral plate. The buckle is chunky in design with the frame being sub-square in section. At the point where the frame meets the plate there is a slight knop to either side of the base of the frame. The integrally cast plate is incomplete but clearly consisted of an openwork design. The pin, which is secured in place by a notch in the openwork plate, is still in situ.

A copper-alloy double-loop trapezoidal buckle of post-Medieval date. The buckle is symmetrical, the two trapezoidal sides converging towards the centre, where there is an axis bar with protruding knops.

A complete cast copper alloy buckle of post-medieval date. The buckle is a sub-rectangular shoe buckle with a drilled frame for separated spindle. The corners are curved and the pin and stud chape remain in tact. A large amount of iron corrosion around the spindle area suggests the spindle was composed of iron. The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is worn. The buckle is 27.1mm long, 19.4mm wide, 4mm thick and weighs 4.4g.
