An incomplete copper alloy Medieval buckle and plate dating from about AD 1250 - 1500. The single D shaped loop is plain and the bar is not recessed nor offset. The outer edge is the same thickness as the bar. The frame is bevelled on both faces. The pin is missing, but the sheet plate survives. It is folded across its width round the bar and has a slot for the pin. The attachment end is rounded and has a single central copper alloy rivet. Compare Whitehead (2003) number 46 and 47 on page 18). The buckle is 26.7mm long, 19.7mm wide, 3.3mm thick and weighs 2.11g.

A copper alloy fragment, probably of a Post Medieval buckle dating from AD 1500 - 1900. Only half of the outer edge survives. It is unclear whether the buckle is single looped or double looped. There is a knop at the end of the missing bar, and the loop is a rounded rectangular one. The outer edge is embellished with a panel of interlace decoration. There is a large projecting grooved pin rest surmounted by a chunky knop which is possibly intended to be zoomorphic with a groove along the outer edge representing a mouth, and notches on the upper face hinting at eyes and ears. …

An Early Medieval cast copper alloy D-shaped buckle with an openwork decorated frame dating from AD 900 - 1000. The buckle has an openwork stranded interlace frame. The frame is D shaped in plan and domed. The bar has the remains of the hinge loops from the plate surviving, but the plate is missing. The pin is also absent. The frame has a black/green patina. Measurements are; length 22.5mm, width 23.8mm, thickness 9.2mm and weight 9.10g.

A copper alloy Post Medieval buckle probably dating from AD 1750 - 1900. It would have been D shaped but is distorted from being pulled from both ends. The bar and frame are sub-circular in cross-section. The bar is curved owing to the distortion, and the outer edge is strongly bent. The pin and plate are missing. Measurements are; length 32.4mm, width 27.2mm, thickness 3.2mm and weight 6.33g. The plain design and cross-section suggest a late date for this buckle.
