This hoard contains three torcs made from twisted gold wire which were found at Tiers Cross in Pembrokeshire. They were almost certainly buried in the Pennard period of the Middle Bronze Age (1200-100 BC). The hoard comprises a gold flange-twisted bar torc and two gold bar torcs. The three torcs had been coiled, rope-twisted and shaped before burial, to better fit when originally buried, probably in a pit feature dug into the ground. The hoard adds significantly to the variety and concentration of gold torcs known in Wales, making it a hot spot for gold torc burials within Atlantic Europe. These hint at the mining of Welsh riverine gold ore sources during the Middle Bronze Age. It signals wealthy communities at this time, in which people of high standing displayed their status by wearing gold.
Discovered in 1991 the hoard was declared treasure and acquired by National Museums Wales.
