An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a very small buckle frame of uncertain date. It is missing one side due to old breaks and has very worn surfaces. The object is cylindrical in form, curving around at either end where it terminates in very worn old breaks. If this is indeed a buckle each of the ends would have joined a now missing bar that would have given the object an oval shaped frame. It measures 8.69mm in length, 4.65mm in width, 1.66mm in diameter and 0.12g in weight.

Copper alloy Buckle. Cast curved or kidney-shaped frame with rectangular strap attachment. The object is flat-backed, with surfaces curving towards a sharp aris enclosed within the frame; in effect it is of triangular section. The buckle form is noted at South Shields Fort and in other military contexts. However, a later date is also possible: a slightly larger buckle of this form from London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, no. 472) has been compared to Roman finds, but also to a girdle buckle from a Later Medieval woman's burial.

A copper alloy pin from a buckle, or possibly a brooch, of uncertain date, Roman to Post Medieval. The pin is D shaped in section and is bent into an open loop at the attachment end. There is a longitudinal groove along the centre of the pin loop. The pin itself tapers from the loop to a blunt point. The pin is made from a piece of metal which is 2.2mm thick. The metal has a grey green patina. As brooch and buckle pins change very little in style, it is impossible to closely identify this object, but it is perhaps most likely that the pin is from a Medieval or Post Medieval buckle.

A fragment of a copper-alloy Post-Medieval buckle frame, probably dating to the Georgian period. The fragment weighs 5.56g and would have been from a two-piece buckle. Only one side of the frame survives. This indicates that the frame was curved, the middle forward projecting and the corners set further back. Thus, the front has a convex curve and the frame creates a concave reverse area. The arm of the frame has a 'D' shaped cross-section with flatter reverse and rounded front, inner and outer edges. At the corners the arm has a width of 4.1mm and thickness of 3.9mm. The middle of th…

An incomplete copper alloy possible buckle frame, dating from the Roman to medieval period, AD 200 - 1500. The fragment consists of the outer edge and one of the sides of the frame. The outer frame widens and is angled, it is decorated with four ring and dot punched motifs. The frame narrows along the side and ends in a rounded knop. It is worn and it is unclear if there is a break where a possible pin bar may have been originally attached. On the opposite edge there is a worn break just as the outer frame starts to narrow. There is no decoration on the reverse. The frame has a dark g…

An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle (probably), possibly dating to the Roman period although it could date to the Medieval period. The object consists of a rounded corner of the frame, the bottom of which swells outwards before narrowing to a double banded moulded constriction. The reverse of the object is slightly concaved, and there is no decoration anywhere on the object. The object is broadly similar to some zoomorphic buckles of the late Roman period (Hawkes & dunning 1961), but no direct comparison could be made, hence the uncertainty of date.

A cast copper-alloy buckle frame which could be Roman or early medieval in date for which no published parallel could be found. The frame is oval in shape and measures 37.05mm in width by 21.53mm in length. It is difficult to see how this frame would have functioned, the sides and one edge have a D-shaped in section (a flat back face and rounded front face) but the other possibly inner edge has a rectangular flattened part with two small transverse grooves across the centre of its edge. This edge is worn and slightly uneven, so possibly it has been modified and could perhaps have ev…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle. The buckle has a narrowed strap bar. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing. Wrapped around the strap bar, with a pin constraint is a double plate. The front plate is large and is triangular, with a circular knop of the end. A rivet remains in situ pushed through the knop. The plate is decorated but it has lost much of its original surface. The edges of the plate have been cut, forming parallel incised lines, down both edges. The back plate has been folded around the reverse, it is much smaller b…

A fragment of a copper-alloy object of uncertain date and function. The general form of this piece suggests that it may be part of a late Roman to early Early-medieval buckle, part of the 'Soldiers and settlers' category of material as discussed by Hawkes and Dunning (Medieval Archaeology; 1961). The piece, which is broken off at both ends, consists of a roughly lozenge-shaped plate with two short, curved protrusions at one end. At the same point on each side is a punched ring-and-dot mark, the inner ring also having a series of small punched circular indentations. If the buckle the…

Complete cast cu-alloy late Roman pelta-shaped buckle dating to the 3rd century AD. This buckle is probably a derivative of late Roman military dolphin buckles. The buckle frame no longer has the shape of two dolphins, but is layed out in a simple geometrical style with the rectangular strap bar attached to the loop. S Laycock and C Marshall argue that "...the distribution of the dolphins buckle along the imperial borders in continental Europe makes it fairly clear that the buckles there have a primarily military function. Their stylistic diversity and distribution on civilian, as well…

A fragment of a late Roman cast copper-alloy buckle frame of Hawkes and Dunning type IIA (Hawkes and Dunning 1961, 50-55, fig 18, k). Buckles of type IIA, are made up of a seperate loop, tongue and plate held together by a bolt. Only a fragment of the inner edge and one side of this buckle frame now survive, the rest is missing due to old breaks. It measures 17.00mm in surviving width and 27.35mm in surviving length. The inner edge is straight and surviving side curved, implying that this frame was D-shaped originally. The inner edge has a fragment of one pierced lug project…

Workflow stage: Published
Very abraded fragment of Romano-British round section bar broken at both ends. On one side and truncated by one break a V-section projection. Almost certainly part of a buckle frame of Hawkes and Dunning (1961) type IIA, the projection being the crest of a dolphin. The break other than the above-mentioned occurs just past a slight curve that does not fit this identification, but is probably the result of distortion. Surviving length 21mm, diameter 5.5mm, width across crest 10mm. 4th century.

A copper alloy sub-D-shaped buckle. Most likely a Late Roman to Early-Medieval Military strap or belt fitting (or possibly a harness fitting). Oval frame, with a smaller trapezoidal second loop. The main oval loop is notched for the pin, with a small decorative knop to either side of the notch. Two incised lines run between the oval and trapezoidal loops forming a small ridge. Part of the iron pin (and a patch of iron corrosion) survive on the outer frame of the trapezoidal loop (although the pin would usually be attached to the frame between the two loops). There is a small trace o…
