Bronze Age gold rings found in Wales


Two ‘lock’ gold rings dating back to the Bronze Age have been found in northeast Wales.


The Late Bronze Age hoard of two ‘lock’ gold rings were discovered in the Community of Rosset. The wearer would’ve been a person of wealth and status within Late Bronze Age Society, between 10000 and 800BC.


In terms of their use, archaeologists aren’t certain whether they were used as ear-rings or worn to gather locks of hair, as the name suggests.
