Casgliadau Arlein

Remains of both plates of a hinged buckle, retaining traces of iron plate to which the field plate was riveted. Nothing of the buckle itself survives, only the notch for the tongue is left to indicate the function. The fixed plate has two flat headed rivets, the other a single dome headed rivet. The plates are joined by both being folded round a common axial bar. While the fixed plate is double thickness throughout its length, the doubling of the buckle plate stops just beyond the rivet, the edge is straight and looks like an original feature rather than a break.
