Small disc with plain flat surfaces and straight sides with slightly curved edges. The disc has a perforation which is slightly off-centre. A slight nick or wear-groove is evident at one point, suggesting suspension vertically, rather than use in the horizontal plane. Originally thought to be a spindlewhorl but a revised identification of the object followed a research visit by DR Stuart Needham on 18th August 2010. He was aware of a similar, but decorated, stone neck pendant discovered in a beaker grave in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Site Name: Penderyn, Powys
Notes: found during the widening of the Penderyn-Brecon road, near spot-level 1305. Probably associated with a beaker burial containing beaker 34.473/1
