A cast copper alloy plate fragment probably from a strap fitting or buckle plate. The plate has broken widthways. The plate is an elongated triangle shape, missing its point, due to the break. The wider terminal of the plate contains two rivet holes and the front surface of the plate has been decorated with an incised linear border infilled with a floral design. The terminal with the rivet holes has rounded corners (one is slightly damaged). The reverse is flat and undecorated. This object is probably of post-medieval date, owing to the floral design.

A fragment of a cast copper alloy strap fitting, possibly of early-medieval date. However, this identification is largely uncertain, so a post-medieval date can not be ruled out. At the apex of the object there is a single lug, which is set at a 90 degree angle to the rest of the plate. It has a rounded end, which contains an attachment rivet. The rest of the object is formed from a flat plate and has been decorated on either side with incised lines, forming a geometric pattern.
