Slave chain from Llyn Cerrig Bach, Anglesey

This chain dates from the period immediately before the Roman invasion of Britain, and was found with other sacrificial offerings in a lake on the isle of Anglesey. It is not clear whether the slaves it held were a chain gang of labourers, captives to be sacrificed themselves, or slaves to be traded for profit elsewhere.
