Middle Bronze Age gold wire
Dyma ddarn main o wifren aur â’r terfynellau wedi’u siapio. Mae’r troadau yn y wifren yn awgrymu ei bod wedi’i thorchi ar un adeg ond ei bod wedi’i hymestyn yn rhannol ers hynny. Ar un derfynell, mae siâp pen bach crwn ac, yn y derfynell arall, mae’r wifren wedi’i fflatio a’i phlygu yn ôl i wneud bachyn. Pan ddarganfuwyd y wifren, roedd y derfynell â’r bachyn y tu mewn i lain aur â siâp deugonig. Felly, mae’n bosib bod y wifren wedi’i defnyddio mewn rhyw ffordd i ddal y glain.

Gwybodaeth am y darganfyddiad
Enw'r Safle: Burton, Wrexham
Nodiadau: Hoard. A hoard of fourteen gold, bronze and ceramic objects were found while metal-detecting in January 2004 in a recently ploughed field in the flood plain of the River Alun at Burton, near Wrexham. Thirteen of these objects were found within a 1.5-2m square area, while a fourteenth was found 24m away. All objects were found 5-20cm below the ground. Subsequently a small archaeological test pit was excavated, which clarified the location of some of the objects. It is possible the objects were deposited within a small ceramic vessel, though only a sherd of this still survives. Two further gold objects (2009.37H/1-2) were found while metal-detecting in August 2007 a few metres from the hoard findspot about 60cm below the surface and were deemed to also be part of this hoard.
