Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Late Bronze Age gold fragment
This is a bent fragment of gold ribbon from an uncertain object, deliberately broken at both ends. It is thicker than the associated bracelet and metallurgical analysis has indicated it belonged to a separate object.
Dyma ddernyn o ruban aur wedi’i blygu. Ni wyddom o ba eitem y daeth ond fe dorrwyd y ddau ben yn fwriadol. Mae’n fwy trwchus na’r freichled gysylltiedig ac mae dadansoddiad o'r metel yn awgrymu'n gryf ei fod yn perthyn i eitem arall.

Find Information
Site Name: Michaelston-super-Ely, Cardiff
Notes: Hoard. A socketed axe was found in March 1987 with two fragments of gold placed deep inside the socket. The findspot was in a field of pasture beneath an old field bank. The axe was found lying horizontally at a depth of just over 50cm. Archaeological excavation revealed no associated pit or context.
