Gwybodaeth am y darganfyddiad

Enw'r Safle: Holywell Golf Links, Brynford

Nodiadau: Found amongst burnt bones with bead 45.311/2, over which was the inverted cinerary urn 36.299, constituting a secondary burial in a barrow, Hemp's No.20F. The beads accompanied the cremated remains of two children and a large inverted (upside down) urn was placed over the bones. In 1933 the cremated bones were sent to the Royal College of Surgeons in London to be analysed but were not returned to Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales. They were probably destroyed when the college was bombed during the Second World War. Roedd y gist yn cynnwys dau bot (yrnau llestri bwyd) a gweddillion person ifanc a gafodd ei amlosgi. Anfonwyd yr esgyrn hyn at Syr Arthur Keith yng Ngholeg Brenhinol y Llawfeddygon rywbryd ar ôl iddynt gael eu darganfod ac ni chawsant eu dychwelyd i’r amgueddfa. Mae’n debygol y cawsant eu dinistrio pan gafodd y coleg ei fomio yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd.
