Full Description
March to April 1999. Metal detecting.
Medieval large square buckle plate, broken at the hinge (old break) and now rather worn. There are frame recesses and a pin slot; beyond are traces of wavy engraving. The centre of the plate is a sunken square field with a reversed bird in profile looking to the right. It has a long straight slanting wing and a tail which curves up to fill all of one side, plus a triangular ear. The ground is ?keyed as if for gilding and there are two rivet holes.
K. Sussams (NLA), 18 May 1999.
