An incomplete buckle frame of probably late early-medieval to early medieval date (c. 1000-1200). It is triangular in shape consisting of two outside edges and the bar. Extensions of the frame either side of the bar, now terminating in old breaks, suggest these originally extended, perhaps into another loop of similar shape. The frame is oval in cross-section with the addition of a ridge at the centre of the two outside edges. This is moulded into a row of single knops with worn grooves between. The oval-sectioned frame behind has similar moulded and grooved decoration in alignment wi…
