Cast copper-alloy single looped buckle plate dating to the medieval period (c. 1250-1400). Three small rivets (one of which remains in place) were used for attachment of the leather strap. The plate is small and less than a mm thick; while the reverse is plain, the obverse is sparsely decorated with a zigzaggy line following the outline of the plate. Shiny residue on the surface suggests that the plate was once silvered or gilt.

Copper alloy Buckle perhaps dating to the 15th century AD. The frame is curved with 6 quarter circle toothed rabbets running along the whole outer edge of each loop and a transverse grooved decoration on the outer edge of each loop. The buckle has a Bifid knop at either end of the strap bar which is missing, set back from the frame. During the 15th century rectangular buckles were manufactured which had highly curved frames. This suggests a specialised function most likely to be used for securing armour. A similar example can be found in Whitehead, R. 2003. Buckles 1250-1800. Greenlan…

Copper alloy Medieval spectacle buckle with a lobed knop at either end of the strap bar. These buckles were in general use from 1350-1720 AD.

Medieval copper alloy buckle with two fragments of the pin. The main loop is oval with a notch for the pin and rectangular strap loop. This buckle belongs to a small group of buckles dating mainly to the period 1350-1450AD, the number of types within this group is fairly limited. They are thought to have been used to secure sword or dagger belts but some have been found from excavations which are still attached to waist girdles. The length is 24mm, the width is 25mm, thickness 2mm and the weight is 1.67g. The length of the pin fragments are 8mm and 2mm respectively.

Strap bar is in tact and slightly recessed from the edge of the frame. Due to their continued use and abundance from the mid 14th to late 17th centuries these buckles can be hard to date out of context (Whitehead 2003 page 52).

Single loop ring buckle. The frame has a slightly irregular thickness around which the blunt pin can move freely. This buckle would probably have been used to secure belts at the waist or thigh and had no buckle plate because the bunching of material around the frame gives the end of the strap extra strength.
