Incomplete cast copper alloy post medieval double loop buckle frame. 28.3mm long, 27.1mm wide, 2.5mm thick and 3.4 grams in weight. One loop has gone almost completely from old breaks. The other is D shaped in profile with an expanded outer edge and a central pair of projecting lips forming a pin rest. The centre bar is recessed and narrowed, there are projecting knobs at both ends, outlined by grooves across the frame. Similar to Whitehead (2003) page 61, no 306 hence a date of c.1550-1650 is suggested.

Incomplete cast copper alloy medieval or post medieval double loop buckle frame. 23.7mm long, 23.9mm wide, 1.7mm thick and 1.6 grams in weight. About 70% of loop has gone from old breaks. The other is D shaped in profile with an expanded outer edge. The centre bar is 12.5mm long and 1.8mm wide. This buckle is of a very simple design making dating difficult; a date of 1350-1720 is suggested based on Whitehead (2003) page 52.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Rim fragment from a copper alloy vessel, probably of a type used for cooking. The fragment is 39.7mm long, 43.7mm wide, 3.6mm thick in the body and weighs 34.3 grams. The rim flares outwards at an angle of 120 degrees to the body and has an uneven edge. The rim is 10.4mm wide at the widest 4.2mm thick. The curve of the rim suggests the original vessel had a diameter of 24cm. There are traces of sooting on the outside, suggesting a cauldron or other cooking vessel.

A cast copper alloy pot leg and foot fragment. 45.1mm long, 30.7mm wide, 21.4mm thick and weighs 101 grams. The fragment is heavily worn but appears to be angled at about 60 degrees. The back is plain. The front has two vertical grooves creating a slightly tri-bobed appearence; just below the top is a raised horizontal band with a semi-circular profile. The top is smooth with slight grooves rather than broken and has a central raised, rough section that may have held a rivet. There appears to be traces of sooting on the foot, this, and its size, suggests it may come from a cooking vessel.

Part of an unidentified copper-alloy object. The remaining piece has a side bar 51.5mm long, with a rectangular cross section and a terminal in the form of a two-lobed fleur; projecting from beneath this fleur, and on the same plane, is the remnant of a sub-trapezoidal element, measuring 16.9mm long and with an uneven bottom edge which suggests the former existence of openwork decoration. The object is 4mm thick and weighs 12.4g. It is similar in form to the 17th century double-loop trapezoid buckles with openwork decoration, but appears too large for this use and may therefore be a c…
