A complete medieval copper-alloy annular buckle (dating from the 14th century). The frame consists of a ring of sub square section measuring 16.99mm diameter by 2.62mm thick. The wire pin is circular in section and has been looped round the frame and there is no pin rest. The artefact has therefore been recorded as a buckle rather than a brooch (see Egan and Pritchard 1991, 57). Many examples of annular buckles have been found in London in 14th-century contexts (ibid., 57-58; fig. 36). The buckle has a dark-brown patina.

A cast copper alloy Early Medieval buckle dating from c. 900- 1100 AD. It is D-shaped in plan with a narrowed strap bar.

Part of a late medieval, copper alloy buckle plate dating from 1350-1500AD. It is a strip of sheet copper alloy which would have been folded over to create a double sheet, but one half has broken away at the fold and is missing.

It is 23.6mm long, 16.6mm wide and 1mm thick. It weighs 1.77gm. Buckles with similar plates are illustrated in Whitehead, 2003, Buckles 1250-1800, page 53.

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.
