Having been somewhat blown away by the sheer artistic quality of the stuff in this hoard I just wanted to ask if anyone has further information on the find location. OK, it's known as the 'Tal-y-Llyn Hoard', but my old copy of 'Celtic Britain' by Lloyd Laing states 'came to light in June 1963 on the slopes of Nant Cader... overlooking Tal-y-Llyn Lake'. I place that somewhere beside the outflow of Llyn Cau, the Nant Cadair? My own googling isn't the best, to be fair.
It's superb that stuff like this survives in our museums for all to see.... but I reckon appreciating the landscape that inspired it - even making a field trip, perhaps - can only add to the experience.
