Although cited by The British Museum as “.. Found 1784 in a bog near Meol Hebog while cutting peat”, other sources [e.g Grahame Clarke’s 1940-published ‘Prehistoric England (sic!) and Coflein] state that this magnificent shield was found upon Moel Siabod. Coflein quotes the findspot at SH71005520... putting it at the head of the excellent ridge Daear Ddu, overlooking the natural lake Llyn y Foel. If this is indeed correct (?) can there be a more appropriate location? It is tempting to think it belonged to whoever was laid to rest (in whatever form) within the nearby cairn.
[edit – note that The British Museum, to judge by the updated link, now appears certain the shield was found in the vicinity of Moel Hebog... which does make more sense, to be honest. So Siabod or Hebog? There’s only one way to find out: FIGHT!!]
