A Post Medieval cast pewter shoe or knee buckle dating from AD1660 - AD1720. The buckle is sub annular and symmetrical with two central drilled holes which would have held a separate spindle making the buckle double looped. The spindle, and thus the pin, has now been lost. The buckle has a moulded decoration on the front. This is formed of four rounded knops at the four 'corners'. The two upper and the two lowers knops are linked to each other by a raised line following the curve of the loops. In the centre of these lines, where the spindle would have attached, is a pointed knop. The …

A fragment of a cast copper alloy, double loop buckle dating to the Post Medieval period (1570 - 1700 AD). The buckle is trapezoidal with a sub rectangular loop. The second loop does not survive due to a transverse break across the buckle just to one side of the strap bar. The centrally located strap bar is narrowed and recessed with a pointed knop at each end. The pin does not survive. The outside edge of the buckle is bevelled. The buckle measures 18mm in length. For a similar examples see Whitehead (2003: 82) nos. 506 or 507.

A incomplete, cast copper alloy buckle plate dating to the Medieval period (1250 - 1400 AD). The buckle is a single loop spur buckle. The plate is sub rectangular and tapers slightly before terminating in a rounded end with a round hole through the middle. The other end of the buckle plate flares out to form the buckle. This end has a transverse break across leaving two projections. At the top of the buckle plate there is a centrally located sub rectangular notch that would have housed the pin, which no longer survives. Just below this notch is another circular hole through the buckle…
