Exhibited to the Soc of Antiquaries 18 June 1874, similarly described except metal said to be bronze, and the site near a place named Rhyddur Vale.. Allotted under Riltws Hills Inclosure, which suggested that the find was made during the reclamation of common land. Object could not be found by L F Chitty. See also PRN 01187 <1>
