Three non-conjoining sherds from one vessel with oxidised orange surfaces have twisted cord lattice decoration with horizontal borders on the external collar. Two of these are rim sherds, with a prominent internal ledge. Above this is a further twisted cord chevron design, captured within horizontal doubble line borders in twisted cord. The third sherd is a lower collar fragment with no decoration on its internal surface.

Find Information
Site Name: Tyddyn Ground, Dyffryn
Notes: Efforts to locate this material to a precise provenance and a published reference have not proved entirely successful. No place called Tyddyn Ground has been identified near Dyffryn, although a Tyddyn Goronwy is known near Dyffryn Ardudwy. A Bronze Age cairn monument near Tyddyn Goronwy (PRN4959 at the NGR above) seems a possible candidate. However, no published reference for a nineteenth century excavation of this monument has yet been traced.
