Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Late Iron Age copper alloy bracelet

Bracelet 3 and human bone fragments 4 and 5 were found in situ, during archaeological investigation of the findspot. Bracelet 3 and human bone 4 were found together about 30cm south west of the first bracelet. Human bone fragments 5 were found in the base of the detector pit containing bracelt fragment 2. The collar was found within disturbed ploughsoil, 50-70 cm north east of fragmentary bracelet no.2. No grave cut survived suggesting most of the burial had been disturbed, scattered and eroded, possibly by ploughing in the recent past.
