A misshapen and corroded Medieval cast copper-alloy single-loop spur buckle with an integral plate (c. 1250-c. 1400 AD)
The frame is trapezoidal in plan, bevelled at the front and rear. The sides of the plate taper and then expand to form an oval attachment end. A small portion of a copper-alloy pin survives within a pin hole. Two copper-alloy rivet holes penetrate the plate along the median centre-line. There is curvilinear abstract design on the front of the plate.
This object is corroded and has traces of a dark green patina.

Incomplete Roman copper-alloy buckle pin, 26mm long, 23mm wide and 3mm deep. The object consists of a sub-rectangular sectioned bar which has two curved arms protruding from the centre, one from each side . Where the four arms meet there is a recessed circle with two concentric raised circles inside; this could alternatively be described as a ring-and-dot motif with two grooved concentric circles around a central dot.
The other two arms are straight when seen from above. One thickens markedly and is decorated with a a single incised transverse line near the (broken) edge. The other…

Double loop oval buckles are a common find and there are a number of similar published examples (Whitehead, 2003, p53, #287-088). They are dated to the later medieval period (c.1400 - c.1600 AD) and are typically considered to have been used as belt fastenings.

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 annular buckle dating to the medieval period. The buckle is unusual in that it retains a buckle plate, which is formed from a single sheet of copper alloy wrapped around the pin bar.There is a recess in the buckle plate for the pin and two rivets at the back of the plate to secure it to a strap; one iron rivet is retained. The buckle itself is annular without any decoration, although the reverse shows evidence of filing. The pin, a simple copper alloy bar wrapped around the pin bar, is intact. This style of buckle dates from c. AD 1250-1350.

A slightly worn and corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1500-1650). The buckle is formed of a trapezoidal in section frame with angled external edges and oval apertures, whilst the pin bar has moulded lobed knops which extend beyond the frame. The frame is bevelled vertically internally, flattened at the upper surface then slopes gently at the exterior edges. The underside is broadly flat, although a narrow recessed area is situated through the central portion of the entire double-looped frame. A copper-alloy pin is retained on the pin bar, whi…

A small cast copper-alloy buckle now missing its pin. The buckle is of the double loop oval type and is undecorated. The reverse of the buckle is flat while the obverse is moulded. The artefact is worn with a green patina. It measures 18.0mm length x 21.6mm width x 3.1mm thick and weighs 2.69g.
As Whitehead (1996, 52) states, undecorated buckles of this form are undiagnostic and could date from either the medieval or post-medieval periods (c.1250-1650 AD).

A copper alloy loop chape from a Post Medieval shoe buckle dating from 1690 - 1720 AD. The chape is heart shaped and openwork with a single 'tongue' or internal spike for attachment to the leather. At the bottom of the heart projects and flared tab which terminates in a slot where the pin would have been attached, flanked by loops through which the spindle passed. These are now corroded suggesting the axis bar or pin was iron. This is probably a variert of the 'cooking pot' shaped chapes featured on page 96 of Whitehead's Buckles.

A copper alloy Medieval buckle plate with the frame and pin missing. The plate is rectangular and has folded hinges but these are broken. The two plates are joined by five dome headed rivets arranged two at each end and one in the centre. The centre rivet also attached a sheet decorative feature on the front plate; a piece of sheet in the shape of a cross fourchee (probably) but with two of the arms missing. The buckle dates from the 13th or 14th century. Compare BERK-84D391, ESS-1820B3, HAMP-DA2351 and LVPL-72F110. The extra sheet decorative feature seems unusual.

Copper alloy buckle. Cast D-shaped rounded section buckle frame with zoomorphic decoration in the form of beast snouts grasping either end of the narrowed strap bar. The beasts are represented deftly but schematically, with a slight constriction between snout and eyes, and a further slight hollowing between head and ears. An off-centre notch on the frame may indicate either a made or worn pin rest. The decorative form is Anglo-Scandinavian, though similar examples are reported from both contemporary and residual contexts. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 950-1050.

An incomplete Late Medieval/ Early Post-Medieval (1400-1700) copper alloy rectangular buckle frame, missing its pin (and possibly plate). It measures 26.94x36.57x9.27mm (internal loop measurements c.8mm and 10mm x c.30mm) and weighs 11.10g.
The frame has a thickened outer edge decorated with a groove flanking each side of it and diagonal grooves between. There is iron staining on the axis bar, suggesting the pin was iron. The edges are set at an angle to the bar, giving a V-shaped profile in cross-section.
A similar rectangular buckle frame but with 'rabbetted' edges is noted fr…
