Aur o Gymru'r Oes Efydd
Middle Bronze Age gold bar torc
Dyma dorch neu gylch gwddf cyflawn a main sydd â chantelau tro. Fe’i gwnaed o far aur solet. Cafodd ei thorchi’n dynn saith a hanner o weithiau, er mwyn iddo ffitio y tu mewn i lestr crochenwaith gyda phethau eraill cysylltiedig, a’u claddu. Ar y ddau ben, gwelir terfynell fachog â thrychiad crwn a weldiwyd ar y bar cantelog; mae’r terfynellau hyn yn ddiaddurn ac ar ffurf conau, yn ymledu tua’r pen.
Torch far aur, 1300-1150 CC. Roedd Cymru wrth wraidd traddodiad aur Ewrop yr Iwerydd yn ystod Canol Oes yr Efydd. Roedd y dorch yma sydd wedi’i throelli yn rhan o gelc Burton, a guddiwyd mewn llestr crochenwaith ar lan afon Alun. Cafodd ei rholio’n dynn er mwyn ei rhoi tu mewn i’r llestr gyda gweddill y celc.

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.
