A corroded Post Medieval-Modern iron single loop trapezoidal buckle, c.AD 1750-1970. This buckle is complete and consists of a trapezoidal frame and an iron pin which has a raised ridge near the frame. This ridge or 'grip' was probably to allow more pressure to be applied to the pin when undoing or doing up the buckle. The strap (and pin) bar is the longer of the two unequal edges. The shorter edge retains a sheet iron roller.

An incomplete Post Medieval iron double-looped buckle, c.AD 1500-1650. This is half of a double-looped buckle; the frame is flat and has bevelled edges, with a thicker section where the spindle would have been drilled. The strap bar and pin are missing, along with the other half of the frame. The obverse of the frame appears to have a series of moulded, circular decorations, but wear and corrosion has made these unclear. The buckle has a mid-brown patina.

Post Medieval-Modern cast copper alloy buckle, c.AD 1800-1900. This is a cast sub-rectangular frame of round section with a nick on its outer edge serving as a pin rest and with a slightly wavy profile with the strap bar set back from the frame. Rust stains on the strap bar and pin rest may suggest this was deposited with an iron pin attached, now lost. The robust construction may suggest use with horse or bridle harness.
