A cast copper alloy medieval annular buckle, 41.9mm in diameter and complete with pin. The frame has an oval cross section, 3.8mm in thickness, with no pin constriction. The pin is 45.4mm in length with a rounded sub rectangular cross section and a small ridged transverse grip at the junction with the loop which likely aided with the operation of the buckle. The underside of the tip of the pin is heavily worn from use. Circa late 13th-15th century.

Incomplete Medieval cast tin alloy buckle, c.AD 1250-1500. This is a single-looped, D-shaped buckle with a scooped reverse face. There are no notches on the frame or strap bar where the pin would have sat. The frame is damaged with pieces missing and edged with old breaks. There is no evidence that the frame has a core of copper alloy that was tinned, suggesting an older Medieval date of this buckle. There is no decoration on any face of the frame.
