Copper alloy buckle. Single looped round section oval buckle frame clasped by a sub-rectangular slotted plate [of thickness 0.6mm] whose inner ends are secured to each other and the strap [lost] by a rivet of head diameter 1.8mm, shank diameter 2.1mm and length 4.6mm. A probably drawn wire pin is wrapped around the frame and protrudes through the narrow slot in the plate. Under low magnification, the frame also appears to be made of drawn wire, though, if so, the junction of its ends has not been discerned. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 750-850.
Length: 20.1mm, Height: 15.4mm, Thickness (frame): 2mm, Weight: 2.38gms
Notes:
The finder suggests this to be part of an assemblage amounting to c.5% of material recovered from an extensive site, the rest being removed illicitly without record. Archaeological opinion holds the site to have been of equivalent character to Flixborough, North Lincolnshire, in terms of its material culture. Coins are under-represented in the group
