An incomplete cast copper alloy single-loop medieval buckle frame with integral plate, possibly a spur buckle, missing its iron pin. The buckle frame is oval in shape and has a triangular lipped pin rest with central notch. The corroded iron remains of the pin are apprent in the piercing in the integral plate, where the pin would have rotated. The loop has a maximum internal diameter of 11.23mm. The integral plate retains a copper alloy rivet with a retaining copper alloy (of a different alloy) circular washer. When originally found, a dark organic material was noted behind the washe…

A cast copper alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date (AD 1550-1650). The buckle frame is incomplete; one loop and a third of the second is missing due to an old break. The frame of the buckle is decorated with a series of cast pattern comprising rose or rosette like flowers on the frame and scroll or vegetal like tendril scrolls on the body and small knops on the outer edge. The design is also heavily gilded. Similar examples to this buckle can be seen in Whitehead (1996:66), specifically no. 411 which is almost identical to this example; Whitehead dates these to the early p…

Two copper alloy strap buckles of the medieval period, c. AD 1300-1500. The rectangular buckles are small, the largest measuring only 34.6mm long x 11.1mm wide and 5.2mm thick. Both retain their buckle plates, which are formed by folding one sheet of copper alloy over the buckle bar and securing the plate to the strap by one or two small rivets. The pin is extant on one of the buckles.

A copper alloy Medieval to Post-Medieval (1350-1600) double oval buckle frame with pin intact (and possibly missing a plate). The buckle measures 22.12mm x 17.24mm x 2.55mm and weighs 1.62g. The internal measurements of the loops are c.12x6mm. The integral bar is roughly square in cross section and extends either side of the frame. The buckle has bevelled edges (they slope inwards when viewed from reverse). The pin is sheet copper alloy cut to a point at its end and of a different copper alloy than the frame. This buckle is similar to HAMP-DA7496 and no. 294 in Whitehead (1996, 'Buck…

A Medieval copper alloy buckle frame. It is sub-oval in shape with two straight sides and two shorter curved sides. Extending from either corner of the straight outer side are two large sub-circular knops. The strap bar is narrowed and recessed. The two large knops are probably exaggerated versions of those seen on buckles 544-548 from Meols (Griffiths et al. 2007, 90). These belong to Meols Type 10 and are dated to the late 14th century (ibid.). Length: 20.0mm, width: 17.0mm, thickness: 2.6mm, weight: 1.81g
