Aur o Gymru'r Oes Efydd
Middle Bronze Age gold bead
Dyma glain siâp deugonig a ffurfiwyd o stribed tenau o eurddalen, a blygwyd i greu gwrym yn y canol ac yna'i grymu’n siâp glain. Cafodd y pennau eu morthwylio a’u weldio’n oer at ei gilydd i greu silindr gwag. Mae twll neu agoriad siâp hirgrwn bras yn y naill ben a’r llall fel y gellid rhoi llinyn trwy’r glain. Mae tolc bychan ar un ochr a rhan o un o’r agoriadau ac mae wal y glain wedi rhwygo ychydig.

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 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.
