Gwybodaeth am y darganfyddiad
Enw'r Safle: Rhossili, Gower
Dull Casglu: surface find
Dyddiad: 1978 / Apr
Nodiadau: The absence of iron staining indicates that the handaxe has not been in a river deposit. It was probably resting on the surface before incorporation into last glaciation deposits (which form the cliffs at Rhossili), before deposition by wave erosion on the beach.
