Copper alloy buttons. Three discoid buttons: one is probably die-stamped, concavo-convex with the stub of a loop in a central boss; the rim is thickened at the back. The second is flat and plain with the stub of a drawn wire loop. The third, a fragment, is concavo-convex, perhaps concave on its front, with traces of adhesive suggesting the loss of other parts of a composite button. Suggested date: post-Medieval, 1850-1900
