Aur o Gymru'r Oes Efydd

Middle Bronze Age gold penannular ring

Modrwy fylchgron yw hon. Mae iddi dair gwifren aur â thrychiad crwn sydd wedi’u sodro ar eu hyd i ffurfio bandyn cul. Cafodd y pennau eu clipio neu eu torri i ffurfio terfynellau syml â phennau fflat. Mae rhai modrwyau tebyg wedi’u darganfod gyda’i gilydd, yn gysylltiedig â breichledi, barrau torchog neu dorchau aur.

Modrwy aur fylchgron, 1300-1150 CC. Roedd Cymru wrth wraidd traddodiad aur Ewrop yr Iwerydd yn ystod Canol Oes yr Efydd. Roedd y modrwy hwn yn rhan o gelc Burton, a gladdwyd ar lannau afon Alun.

Gwybodaeth am y darganfyddiad

Enw'r Safle: Burton, Wrexham

Dull Casglu: metal detector

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 were found while metal-detecting in August 2007 a few metres from the hoard findspot and were deemed to also be part of this hoard.
