Middle Bronze Age gold bead
Dyma glain siâp deugonig wedi’i wneud o eurddalen denau. Mae crac o gwmpas rhan o’r adran ganol letaf yn awgrymu y gallai’r glain fod wedi’i ffurfio trwy asio dau ddernyn bach gwag siâp côn yn eu man lletaf. Roedd llinyn yn cael ei roi trwy’r tyllau neu’r agorfeydd allanol. Rhai crwn oeddent i ddechrau ond cafodd y ddau eu difrodi wrth eu claddu neu wedyn. Pan ddarganfuwyd y glain, roedd darn cysylltiedig o wifren aur ynddo.

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.
