Silver possible buckle fragment. Cast loop fragment, described as a hook by the finder, thicker on its longer side and broken at both its ends, here taken as about one half of a simple buckle frame. There is the start of a return to the curve on the inner edge of the thicker part. A mould line appears along the inner side while the outer surfaces are polished as if by wear. The proximity of early Anglo-Saxon material in the vicinity and reported along with this object prompts the speculative ascription of an early date. Suggested date: possibly Early Medieval, 410-800. The suspected ag…

Copper alloy and iron buckle. A simple oval loop, whether of cast construction or hammered drawn wire is uncertain, retaining a mass of ferrous corrosion indicating deposition with an iron pin attached, and possibly the preservation of textile in contact with the decaying metal. The use of iron pins with copper alloy frames is characteristic of Anglo-Saxon material. Narrow straps appear from the later pagan period or Final Phase onwards.

The reverse is flat with an in-line pair of large rectangular fixing lugs with drilled holes. Circa late 6th - 7th century AD.
