Mae\u2019r camera obscura<\/em> yn ddyfais optegol hynafol. Daw\u2019r enw o\u2019r geiriau Lladin \u2018siambr dywyll\u2019. Yn ei ffurf symlaf, mae\u2019r camera obscura<\/em> yn ystafell dywyll \u00e2 thwll bychan yn un wal. Pan fydd hi\u2019n llachar y tu allan, mae golau\u2019n dod i mewn drwy\u2019r twll ac yn taflu delwedd o\u2019r byd y tu allan ar y wal gyferbyn \u00e2\u2019r twll. Mae\u2019r ddelwedd hon wyneb i waered a thu \u00f4l ymlaen.<\/p>\n

Yn ystod Oes Fictoria oedd y camera obscura<\/em> fwyaf poblogaidd. Heddiw mae yna ddeg yn agored o hyd i\u2019r cyhoedd ledled y DU, ac mae llawer o rai eraill dros y byd.<\/p>\n

Yn rhan o\u2019r prosiect \u2018Ein Tirlun Darluniadwy<\/em>\u2019, cafodd \u2018camera obscura\u2019 symudol ei greu ac mae\u2019n cael ei ddefnyddio yn aml i ddangos y golygfeydd mewn digwyddiadau ar draws y Dirwedd Genedlaethol. Hefyd, yn rhan o\u2019r prosiect, bu plant ysgol lleol yn ymchwilio ac yn creu perfformiad ar hanes y \u2018camera obscura\u2019 a safai unwaith ar Ddinas Br\u00e2n.<\/p>\n

Cliciwch yma i deithio mewn amser gyda\u2019r antur hwnnw.<\/a><\/p>\n

Dros y canrifoedd, mae Castell Dinas Br\u00e2n wedi\u2019i baentio gan lawer iawn o bobl, gan gynnwys yr arlunwyr enwog JMW Turner a Richard Wilson. Mae pobl yn parhau i gael eu hysbrydoli gan yr hen adfail hwn heddiw drwy ffotograffiaeth, barddoniaeth<\/a>, podlediadau<\/a> a hyd yn oed realiti rhithwir<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Y cloddiad archeolegol cyntaf ar Ddinas Br\u00e2n<\/strong>\u00a0
Yn 2021, bu\u2019r cloddiad archeolegol cyntaf erioed ar gofnod ar Ddinas Br\u00e2n.<\/p>\n

Arweiniwyd y gwaith cloddio gan Ymddiriedolaeth Archeolegol Clwyd-Powys a chafodd ei ariannu gan Gronfa Treftadaeth y Loteri drwy brosiect \u2018Ein Tirlun Darluniadwy\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"Archaeologist<\/p>\n

Roedd y gwaith cloddio\u2019n galluogi i seiri maen ddiogelu sylfeini\u2019r waliau a deall rhagor am gynllun a manylion y porthdy, gan gynnwys cyfres o baratoadau amddiffynnol ar hyd cyntedd y fynedfa.<\/p>\n

\"Excavating<\/p>\n

Drwy\u2019r gwaith, llwyddwyd i ddatblygu ein dealltwriaeth o\u2019r cynllun a dod o hyd i lefelau llawr sydd wedi goroesi a nodweddion archeolegol a oedd wedi\u2019u claddu. Awgrymwyd y gallai mwy fod wedi\u2019i gladdu dan yr haenau o rwbel o\u2019r 18fed\u201319eg ganrif a oedd wedi\u2019i osod y tu mewn i\u2019r tyred ar fwriad er mwyn caniat\u00e1u i\u2019r ystafell \u00e2 tho bwa gael ei throsi\u2019n ystafell roedd modd ei defnyddio. Mae cofnodion bod y tyred wedi\u2019i ddefnyddio fel storfa ar gyfer ystafell de yn oes Fictoria.<\/p>\n

Mae\u2019r gwaith hyd yma wedi datblygu ein gwybodaeth a\u2019n dealltwriaeth o\u2019r castell a hefyd wedi sicrhau bod y porthdy\u2019n strwythurol gadarn ac yn ddiogel i allu ei agor i ganiat\u00e1u mynediad i\u2019r cyhoedd ar adegau penodol pan mae hynny\u2019n briodol.<\/p>\n

Mae\u2019r ffilm fer hon<\/a> yn dangos y rwbel o\u2019r gwaith cloddio\u2019n cael ei gludo gyda hofrennydd o\u2019r copa i bwyntiau ar hyd y llwybrau er mwyn ei ailddefnyddio i gynnal a chadw\u2019r llwybrau sydd wedi treulio ar y ffordd i\u2019r castell ei hun.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
