Find Information
Site Name: Llyn Cerrig Bach, Cae Ifan Farm
Notes: Said to have been found during the construction of the Valley airfield. The almost complete absence of rust suggests that the spearhead was acquired immediately after removal from the lake, and did not lie out in the open for a considerable time like the other finds from this site. Hence it was appropriated before the official discovery of the votive deposit by the Clerk of the Works.
