Site Name: Cadno Mountain, Pendine
Notes: From a pit with a cremated burial, 2 metres north-west of the centre of the tumulus. Found with fragments of pottery and a curved flint tool in a stone-lined pit containing a cremation burial. The knife was not burnt on the pyre but was placed in grave as part of the funerary rituals. Daethpwyd o hyd iddi gyda darnau o grochenwaith ac erfyn fflint crwn mewn pydew wedi’i leinio â cherrig a oedd yn cynnwys corfflosgiad. Nid oedd y gyllell wedi cael ei llosgi ar y goelcerth ond cafodd ei gosod yn y bedd yn rhan o’r defodau angladdol.
