Bronze Age gold jewellery fragment
Dyma un o ddau ddarn a oedd yn perthyn, o bosibl, i ddolen fylchgron aur. Fe’i ffurfiwyd o far plaen ac iddo drychiad petryal, wedi'i grymu a'i blygu i ffurf hirgrwn fflat. Mae’r terfynellau’n eithaf crwn a heb eu lledu. Cafodd y ddolen ei llifio’n ddau ddarn yn yr hen oesoedd.

Enw'r Safle: Craig-yr-Wolf, Llanarmon-yn-Iâl
Nodiadau: Association of gold objects inside copper alloy (bronze) socketed axes is now known for three Late Bronze Age hoards in Wales, the other two being from Rossett, Wrexham, and Michaelston-super-Ely, Cardiff. The Michaelston-super-Ely hoard also contained a coiled gold bracelet. The metallurgical analysis of the gold objects indicates that the finger ingot and two bracelets in the Llanarmon-yn-Iâl hoard may have originated from the same batch of metal, with differences in composition resulting from poor mixing while casting.
