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.

Cast cu-alloy shoe-buckle, probably dating from the 17th/18th century. The buckle frame is roughly square with long separate semi-circular terminals at both loops and rectangular mouldings in the centre of the upper and lower cross bars. While the frame was made from a very tinny cu-alloy (the metal is of light grey colour), the pin was made from wrought iron. A thick layer of iron rust/residue remains around the central spindle where the pin would have been.

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…
