Silver-gilt buckle with a triangular plate, recently broken in two pieces. The oval loop, of D shaped section, is cast in one with the plate. It has a false shield-on-tongue composed of two stepped, crescentic panels, each decorated with a band of interlace now obscured by corrosion. The base of the tongue is an elongated oval, the tip is now missing. At the junction of the loop and plate, on each side of the narrow flange bordering the latter, is a garnet-inlaid collared boss with a beaded rim.

An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of early-medieval date. The buckle is D-shaped in plan and circular in section with a worn and broken narrowed and recessed strap bar. The pin no longer remains. The outer edge of the frame is wide and undecorated with no recess for the pin. The frame terminates in bulbous knops which are most probably crude representations of animal heads confronted across the strap bar.

A corroded copper alloy probable buckle plate of probable Early Medieval date, about 650 - 850 AD. The plate is rectangular with worn and damaged edges. In the centre is a silver inlay or piece of silver foil decorated with a triquetra. Other objects with a silver foil include LIN-C0D1C1, and a parallel for the triquetra design is LVPL-918135. Another similar object is HAMP-994608. The shape of the plate is reminiscent of Medieval buckle plates, leading to the uncertainty over date and function.

Oval buckle frame, with pierced lugs behind the bar in which a (missing) spindle for the attachment of the pin and plate would have been fixed, and with an animal-head knop in the centre of the outside edge. A wide moulded groove in the top of the bar and a narrower one in the animal head would have accommodated the pin. A shallow channel along the top of the sides and outside edge is inlaid with silver, some of which is extant.
