A bronze boar figurine found near to or at Gaer Fawr Hillfort (NPRN 306997) at the beginning of the 19th century and now exhibited in the National Museum of Wales.

The figurine is made of hollow bronze and is 63mm long by 35mm high. A deep incision running the full length underneath the belly suggests it would originally have been mounted, most likely as a helmet emblem. The style of the boar suggests that it is Iron Age in date.
