Late Iron Age copper alloy object
Copper alloy strip fragment with smooth lateral edges. Torn and twisted so that it is not apparent whether it was originally coiled or not. Both ends are damaged although one is slightly stepped and tapered and has been cut from above. There are no fixing holes, decoration or significant patches of differential corrosion.

Enw'r Safle: Llyn Cerrig Bach, Cae Ifan Farm
Nodiadau: Found during the construction of an airfield at RAF Station Valley. Some certainly, the rest probably, from a wet meadow which formed the margin of Llyn Cerrig Bach. The exact depth below the grassy surface at which the objects were deposited is not known. The bog was excavated to a maximum depth of 20 feet. A few objects were found on the spot, after the peaty deposit had been won from the boggy margin of the lake. The rest, with the exception of 44.32/58, were found on that portion of the adjacent aerodrome on which the peat from this site had been spread. Animal bones were associated with the deposit and many metal objects were stained with vivianite.
