A cast iron wheel with six holes, from the Palleg tramroad. This was found at Graig Twrch Farm, Lower Cwmtwrch, Swansea Valley. The wheel dates from the early 19th century as the tramroad operated from approximately 1797 to 1864. Trams were drawn along the narrow-gauge tracks by horses. Olwyn haearn bwrw gyda chwe thwll o dramffordd Palleg. Cafodd hon ei darganfod ar Fferm Graig Twrch, Cwmtwrch Isaf, Cwm Tawe. Mae’r olwyn yn dyddio o ddechrau’r bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg gan roedd y dramffordd yn gweithredu rhwng tua 1797 tan 1864. Byddai ceffylau’n tynnu’r tramiau ar hyd llwybrau cul.
