Description
English: 3 Book clasps,
  1. 49mm long, 16mm wide >1mm thick, this example is rectangular in plan, the base spays outwards slightly and there are two V-shaped notches cut into the terminal. Hook on the opposite end. Two rivet holes and remains of ring and dot decoration are barely visible.
  2. 36mm long, 16mm wide, >1mm thick, diamond shape with two rectangular notches at either end, the base spays outwards slightly and there are the remains of two V-shaped notches cut into the terminal. Hook on the opposite end. No decoration remains.
  3. 95m long 24mm wide, 1mm thick, diamond shape with two large rectangular notches at either end, the base spays outwards slightly and there are four V-shaped notches cut into the terminal. Hook on the opposite end. There are the remains of ring decoration along the back edge and that forward edge, but nothing in the centre.
All artefacts are in a poor condition, suffering heavily from corrosion that has striped away the original surface leaving a dark brown-pitted layer. Artefacts such as this have been discovered in excavations and have been found to predominately date to the 15th and 16th centuries such as the examples discovered in the York excavations (Ottaway & Rogers, 2002, 2937-2939).
