Find Information
Site Name: Ynys Gwrtheryn, Llanbedr
Date: 1847
Notes: Found about the year 1847. This and the other vessels with it, were found in what, from the description of Rd Jones, the county Surveyor, must have been very much of the character of a cairn, excepting that the vessels were deposited on a flat stone, without any appearance of a cist vaen. This vessel contained coins, one (or some) of them Rd. Jones says, 'were 1900 years old' - and so, probably Roman. They were sent to Mostyn.
