Rectangular plaque with two rivet-holes on the long axis presumably for fixing to a leather belt. The edge is bevelled and just within the bevel is a slightly irregular line of punched circles. One rivet hole contains the badly rusted remains of what appears at first sight to be a hollow iron rivot; but a tubular rivet of iron is so unlikely that it is probable that the central hole has been produced by the corrosion of the iron. Rectangular belt plaques are of this type are common in Pagan Saxon graves; but they normaly have a rivet-hole at the each corner.
