Middle Bronze Age gold ribbon torc
Dyma ruban main o aur sydd wedi’i droelli’n llac, gan feinhau tua’r terfynellau bachog cul ar y ddau ben. Credir mai o gwmpas y gwddf y byddai’r addurn hwn yn cael ei wisgo. Rhaid nodi bod y dorch wedi’i hanffurfio a’i gwasgu’n belen gyda dwy dorch arall pan ddarganfuwyd hi. Felly dehongliad o’i ffurf a’i dimensiynau gwreiddiol yw’r dorch yn ei chyflwr presennol.
Torch ruban aur, 1400-1300 CC. Arwydd o statws a chyfoeth oedd y torchau rhuban. Cawsant eu creu trwy droelli stribedi tenau o aur. Roedd y bachau bob pen yn cadw’r torchau yn eu lle. Pan gafwyd hyd i’r gelc hwn, roedd y torchau wedi cael eu gwasgu’n un bêl aur. Mae archaeolegwyr wedi gweld arfer tebyg mewn llefydd eraill ym Mhrydain hefyd. Mae’n awgrymu bod difetha’r gwrthrychau yn weithred arwyddocaol i’r bobl oedd yn eu claddu.

Gwybodaeth am y darganfyddiad
Enw'r Safle: Heyope (Cwmjenkin Farm), Powys
Nodiadau: Hoard. The hoard was found on 10th June 1955 in a very steep field approximately 640 south south east of Cwmjenkin Farm by the occupant of the farm while ploughing. The three torcs were found crushed into a ball and were disentangled and arranged in their present form post-recovery. The findspot is well below the top of the hill and it is possible they were deposited higher, but have since moved due to erosion. The report of discovery indicates that the ploughing reached no deeper than nine inches.
