Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Circular, domed lead weight with flattened top capped with copper alloy mount, of 8th or 9th century date. The decoration comprises 'L' shaped recesses and a central square recess for enamel which is now missing.

Viking lead weight for weighing silver.

The lead weights found at Llanbedr-goch show that people there were heavily involved in trade around the Irish Sea and beyond. Traders bartered or exchanged goods, or paid mainly in silver by weight.
