A copper alloy buckle frame possibly dating to the early medieval period. The buckle is D-shaped in plan with a point on the outer curved edge which may have been intended as zoomorphic face which can be seen more clearly on SWYOR-AC86A7.

Projecting downwards from the point at which the bar meets the frame are two small loops which may have formed a second bar so that the plate was attached via a hinge.
