Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Middle Bronze Age gold strip
This piece was considered to be of a Post-Medieval date, but possibly represents a Bronze Age ring flattened out. The length of the strip is comparable to the corrugated rings from Burton, Wrexham, and the metallurgical analysis is suggestive of a Middle Bronze Age date.
