Enw'r Safle: Ty'n-y-coed Farm, Arthog
Nodiadau: The bucket was originally provenanced on entry into the Museum as coming from Nannau Park, at Dolgellau in Merionethshire, where it had been found in 1880/81. W.J.Hemp, in the 'Journal of the Merionethshire Historical Society' (1960), pp.353-39, argues that the bucket found in 1880/81 was the same bucket that was found in 1826 at the findspot stated above, but subsequently lost. Hemp cites Lewis's 'Topographical Dictionary' (1840, 2nd edition) as containing the original information for the finding of the bucket, under the entry for Llangelynin, where the dimensions stated are almost identical to the bucket found at Nannau. As Arthog is only appoximately seven miles from Nannau Park, Hemp argued that it would be unlikely that two buckets of such rarity would be in the same area, therefore the two buckets were identical.
