The distinctive handstamped multiple "raised X" design on its rim is consistent with second-half-of-the-1700s shoebuckles, knee-buckles, breeches-buckles, and stock-buckles, etc.
Although the ones at the following link are Reproductions, they are copies of Originals found at late-Colonial era sites.

Because you found only a fragment of the complete buckle, I am unable to tell what specific type it is.
Keep hunting that spot -- the rest of it could be nearby.
