A copper-alloy double-loop buckle frame of medieval to post-Medieval date. A central axis bar divides the frame into two sub-rectangular sides. The right- and left-hand sides of the frame are decorated by a series of moulded lobes, the bottom sides bow outwards and the top sides are almost horizontal. The axis bar has a trapezoidal cross section and attached traces of a white metal coating, but the pin is missing.

A medieval cast copper-alloy buckle frame. The frame is oval, with an offset bar, the bar being distorted as a result of old damage. There is a grooved pin rest in the centre of the pointed outside edge, flanked to each side by a double moulding parallel to the groove; the mouldings project slightly beyond the outside edge, to the front of the buckle. It is bevelled both externally and internally on the front. A thick sheet pin survives looped around the bar. It has corroded to a different colour to the frame suggesting that it was made of a different alloy. It has been been slightly …

An incomplete and distorted copper-alloy frame from a medieval single-loop buckle. The frame comprises a strip of flat section which narrows towards the inner side, where it terminates in two opposing axis bar cylinders. The axis bar is largely missing, but iron corrosion on both cylinders attests to its former composition. Longitudinal lines of rocker-arm grooves decorate the outer face of the frame.

A copper-alloy single-loop buckle of medieval date. The frame is D-shaped in plan, has sloping upper surfaces, a flat underside and an offset axis bar. The two tabs linking the rectangular front plate and incomplete back plate have been folded around this bar. Two copper-alloy rivets, located at the corners at the frame end of the plate, join together the upper and lower plates, with two empty rivet holes at the opposite end of the upper plate. The now-missing pin would originally have been looped around the axis bar via the space between the two aforementioned plate tabs.
