Aur o Gymru'r Oes Efydd
Middle Bronze Age gold bar-twisted torc
Dyma dorch neu gylch gwddf sydd bron yn grwn, wedi’i thorchi bedair gwaith a hanner. Cafodd y bar aur ac iddo drychiad sgwâr ei droelli'n dynn glocwedd i roi ffurf bar tro. Dim ond un o’r terfynellau bachog sy’n dal yn gyfan. Mae’n blaen ac iddo drawstoriad crwn. Cafodd hwn ei sodro ar y prif far ac mae’n meinhau o’r uniad cyn ymledu wrth gyrraedd y pen draw sy’n amgrwn. Mae’r derfynell arall wedi torri ychydig uwchlaw plyg y bachyn. Ymddengys bod hyn wedi digwydd yn yr hen oesoedd Mae’n edrych fel pe bai’r aur wedi hollti lle mae’r derfynell wedi torri. Mae’n debyg mai dyma lle y sodrwyd y darnau at ei gilydd. Mae rhai o’r darnau troellog wedi’u fflatio neu wedi treulio wrth i’r dorch gael ei gwneud neu wrth ei defnyddio/gwisgo.
Torch aur far wedi’i siapio fel breichdlws. 1300-1150 CC.

Gwybodaeth am y darganfyddiad
Enw'r Safle: Talwrn Farm, Llanwrthwl
Nodiadau: Hoard. The hoard was found on/around 21st February 1954 in a field of pasture known as Cae-gwyllt Bank, belonging to Talwrn Farm. Two farm workers were clearing the field of stones for ploughing and found a large stone on its side weighing approximately 100kg, below which was a heap of small stones. Under one of these stones were two torcs of different sizes, and below these was another small stone, which covered a further two torcs. The findspot was near the southern corner of the field on a south-east slope in the Wye river valley. The presence of a possible marker stone, and careful concealment of the torcs, may imply these torcs were buried with the intention of recovery, or for safe keeping. Four years later a Middle Bronze Age gold ring was found about a mile and a half away.
