A copper-alloy frame, probably from a post-Medieval single-loop buckle*. The frame is roughly 'D-shaped', with a curved, outward-angling projection on each of the two outer corners. The surfaces are flat and the width gradually expands towards the centre of the rounded outer side, where there is an internal bulge. Traces of iron corrosion from the now-missing pin adhere to the rectangular-sectioned axis bar. Dimensions: 21.4mm long, 29.2mm wide, 1.9mm thick. Weight: 3.03g.

Buckle. An oval, triangular sectioned frame, with a very short integral forked spacer, pierced for the sheet pin which has side flanges. The plate is formed from a single folded sheet, the fold at the attachment edge, with a slot cut through the fold which now contains corroded iron, probably the remains of an axis bar. This is presumeably a repair after the originally longer forked spacer broke. Frame measures 18 x 20mm. Plate measures 10 x 15mm. Dates to the 14th - 15th century.
