Title
Early medieval buckle
Description
English: A fragment of an Early Medieval stirrup strap mount, dating to c. AD 1000-1100.

The fragment consists of a broadly triangular stirrup strap mount which has been regularly pierced at intervals. Two circular piercings survive completely, while two are missing their outer perimeter due to its fragility, A further less regular pair of ovoid apertures are also largely missing and only to be hinted at from their upper areas, which survive. Along the central spine of the mount are two raised relatively square areas with a more circular depression between them. These are notably concave on the reverse. There is a slight flange present, with a narrowed rectangular point of attachment which would once have encircled this. 

An example of Williams Class B Type 2 Group 3, a group with multiple other examples in the south west of England, including SOMDOR-C4A7C0 and SOMDOR-49C3A2..
