Early Bronze Age bone ring-headed pin
The pin is shaped to a sharp point and carefully polished on all surfaces. The expanded head has a central circular perforation. Similar pins have been found with burials in southern England and seem to have been used throughout the Early Bronze Age.
Mae’r pin wedi’i siapio i greu blaen miniog ac mae ei arwynebau i gyd wedi’u sgleinio’n ofalus. Mae twll cylchog yng nghanol y pen sydd wedi’i ehangu. Mae pinnau tebyg wedi cael eu darganfod gyda chladdedigaethau yn ne Lloegr ac mae’n ymddangos eu bod wedi cael eu defnyddio ar hyd yr Oes Efydd Gynnar.
