Ceredigion Find – Penbryn Divination Spoons
Castell Nadolig (Christmas Castle), Sarnau, is a interesting site which was the location of an interesting discovery in 1829, a pair of bronze spoons, with a gold inlay, dug up by the tenant farmer, while clearing a mound of stones somewhere on the site. This mound was later thought to be a burial mound. These spoons are incredibly rare thought to date from the 1st century BC, with only 27 individual spoons known to exist in Britain, Ireland and one pair from northern France.
These incredibly rare spoons are now on display at The Ashmolean Museum Oxford.
