An incomplete medieval single loop buckle, dating to the period c. 1250-1450. It is missing its pin. This buckle has an oval frame, measuring 22.12mm in length and 14.04mm in width. The outside edge is 4.02mm thick and is decorated with eight transverse grooves. The bar is thinner, measuring 2.09mm in thickness. Two moulded knops project from either end of this bar, with one transverse incision on the inside of each knop. Traces of a grey substance on both faces of the buckle suggest possible traces of a whilte metal coating. There is no further decoration on either side of the buckle.
Parallels to this may be found in Whitehead (1996), p.22 no.86, or in Meols, where it might be type 6 or 8.
