A fragment of a Post Medieval cast copper alloy buckle, c.AD 1700-1800. This is one of the long sides of a buckle frame, oval in section and arched in profile. At one end, the frame begins to turn into a 90 degree angle, but an old break has separated it from the rest of the frame. In the middle of this fragment, the frame widens and a small, precise circle was drilled into the centre of the sides. This was most likely where the centre bar would have sat. The precise cut and small size of this circle suggests a late Post-Medieval date of manufacture.
