Dewiswyd y cynllun buddugol gan banel o Lywodraeth Cymru a’r corff sy’n noddi’r cynllun, Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, yn dilyn cystadleuaeth genedlaethol i dderbyn cynigion am gysyniadau celf i ddathlu Blwyddyn Chwedlau Cymru.  
  
Dechreuwyd adeiladu Castell Fflint ym 1277, un o’r cestyll cyntaf i gael eu hadeiladu yng Nghymru gan Edward I.  Aeth y Brenin yn ei flaen i adeiladu cestyll Biwmares, Conwy, Caernarfon a Harlech yng ngogledd Cymru, sydd heddiw’n ffurfio Safle Treftadaeth y Byd UNESCO.  
  
Dadorchuddiwyd cynlluniau cerflun enfawr gwerth £395,000 y Cylch Haearn heddiw gan Ken Skates, Gweinidog y Cabinet dros yr Economi ac Isadeiledd, a gallai fesur hyd at saith metr o uchder a 30 metr o led.  Mae’n cynrychioli coron enfawr rydlyd sy’n portreadu’r berthynas rhwng teuluoedd brenhinol canoloesol Ewrop a’r cestyll yr adeiladon nhw.  
  
Bydd y gosodiad yn cael ei gerfio gyda geiriau a dywediadau priodol fydd yn cael eu datblygu gan y gymuned leol.  
  
Pan fydd yn agor yn 2018, bydd ymwelwyr yn gallu cerdded ar hyd y cerflun a gweld golygfeydd uchel ar hyd yr aber a golygfeydd o’r castell.  
  
Mae ei leoliad yn Fflint yn nodi’r digwyddiad enwog pan drosglwyddwyd y goron o un llinach ganoloesol i un arall, fel sy’n cael ei ddisgrifio yn Richard II gan Shakespeare.  Castell Fflint oedd y lleoliad wrth i Richard II ildio’r goron i Harri’r IV \- digwyddiad pwysig iawn a gafodd gryn effaith ar hanes Prydain ac Ewrop.


> “Bydd y cerflun ar ffurf gytbwys, bydd peth ohono o dan y ddaear, a’r gweddill yn ymestyn i’r awyr, er mwyn dangos natur ansefydlog y goron,”

meddai George King, o George King Architects Cyf. \- y penseiri sy’n gyfrifol am y cynllun uchelgeisiol.  

> “Mae’r cerflun wedi cael ei gynllunio’n ofalus i weithio ar sawl graddfa.  O bellter mae ei siâp trawiadol, eiconig yn debyg i arteffact enfawr hynafol, wedi ei olchi ar lan Aber Dyfrdwy.
> 
> “Mae ei faint a’i olwg ddynamig yn golygu y bydd yn dirnod fydd yn hawdd i’w adnabod yn yr ardal.
> 
> “Fodd bynnag, wrth i chi agosáu at y cerflun mae’n amlwg ei fod yn fwy na dim ond cerflun.”

Bydd yr engrafiadau yn dathlu tirnodau lleol, trefi hanesyddol a’u cysylltiadau â Chastell Fflint, yn ogystal â chynnwys ynglŷn â fflora a ffawna Aber Dyfrdwy.  
  
Mae’r cynllun yn rhan o ddatblygiadau ehangach sydd wedi eu hamlinellu mewn strategaeth adfywio sydd newydd gael ei chomisiynu ar gyfer blaendraeth Fflint, gyda’r nod o gyfoethogi profiad ymwelwyr â Chastell Fflint, a chryfhau cysylltiadau â’r gymuned o fewn y dref a helpu i adfywio’r ardal unigryw hon.  
  
Dwedodd Ken Skates: 


> “Mae’n bleser mawr cyhoeddi’r cynlluniau i helpu gwella profiad ymwelwyr yn y safle hwn sy’n llawn hanes, a hynny yn ystod Blwyddyn Chwedlau Cymru.
> 
> “Rydyn ni’n dathlu pobl anhygoel y gorffennol, llefydd trawiadol a straeon sydd wedi creu treftadaeth a diwylliant cyfoethog Cymru drwy gydol 2017\.
> 
> “Yn ei anterth, chwaraeodd Castell Fflint rôl allweddol drwy greu dyfodol Cymru, heb sôn am y DU ac Ewrop.  Mae cerflun y Cylch Haearn yn ffordd berffaith o nodi’r arwyddocâd a denu rhagor o bobl i ymweld â’r safle, gan ddod â buddiannau economaidd positif i’r ardal.”

Mae gwelliannau eraill i’r Castell yn cynnwys gosod grisiau troellog dur gwrthstaen yn y tŵr gogledd\-ddwyreiniol a chynllun i ystyried adfywio Blaendraeth Fflint ymhellach.   
  
Mae’r grisiau £217,000 wedi cael eu gosod yn yr un safle â’r grisiau cerrig gwreiddiol, fel y gall ymwelwyr ddringo i ben y tŵr a mwynhau golygfeydd godidog o blatfform newydd ar ben y grisiau.  
   
Dim ond megis dechrau mae’r cynllunio adfywio, ond bydd opsiynau’n cael eu hystyried i wella’r cyfleusterau sydd ar hyd y traeth ar hyn o bryd. Bydd hyn yn cynnwys gweithio gyda RNLI, clwb rygbi a chlwb pêl\-droed Fflint i wella’r cyfleusterau presennol, a gweithio gyda phartneriaid fel yr Awdurdod Lleol i ddatblygu gwasanaethau ymwelwyr yng Nghastell Fflint.

The winning design was selected by a panel from the Welsh Government and sponsored body, Arts Council for Wales, following a nation\-wide competition to obtain proposals for an artwork concept celebrating Wales’ Year of Legends.     
  
Begun in 1277, Flint was one of the first castles to be built in Wales by Edward I. The King later moved on to construct the north Wales castles of Beaumaris, Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech, which today form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.   
  
The £395k monumental Iron Ring sculpture, plans for which have been unveiled today by Ken Skates, Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure, could potentially measure up to seven metres high and 30 metres wide, and symbolises a giant rusted crown representing the relationship between the medieval monarchies of Europe and the castles they built.   
  
The installation will be engraved with carefully chosen associated words and sayings to be developed with the local community.   
  
When opened in 2018, visitors will be able to walk along the sculpture and enjoy elevated views across the estuary and of the castle.  
  
Its location at Flint marks the event where the crown was famously transferred from one medieval dynasty to another, as described in Shakespeare’s Richard II. Flint Castle was the setting as Richard II surrendered the crown to Henry IV \- a momentous event impacting the history of Britain and Europe.


> “The sculpture will take a balanced form, some buried beneath the ground, the remainder projecting into the air, to demonstrate the unstable nature of the crown,”

said George King, from George King Architects Ltd \- the architects behind the ambitious design.  

> “The sculpture has been carefully designed to work at many scales. From afar its striking, iconic form resembles a giant ancient artefact, washed up on the shore of the Dee Estuary.
> 
> “Its scale and dynamic appearance means that it will become an instantly recognisable landmark for the area.
> 
> “However, as you approach the sculpture it becomes obvious that the piece is more than just a sculpture.”

The engravings will celebrate local landmarks, historic towns and their links with Flint Castle, as well as content about the flora and fauna of the Dee estuary.   
  
The sculpture is part of planned wider developments outlined in a newly\-commissioned regeneration strategy for Flint foreshore, aimed at greatly enhancing the visitor experience at Flint Castle, strengthening and building on community relations within the town and helping with the regeneration of this unique area.     
  
Ken Skates said: 


> “It gives me great pleasure to announce plans to help improve the visitor experience at this fascinating site steeped in history during Wales’ Year of Legends.
> 
> “Throughout 2017 we are celebrating the incredible people from our past, captivating places and stories that have shaped Wales’ rich heritage and culture.
> 
> “In its prime, Flint Castle played a pivotal role in not only shaping the future of Wales but that of the UK and Europe. The Iron Ring sculpture is a perfect way of marking this significance while attracting more people to visit the site, bringing positive economic benefits to the area.”

Further improvements to the castle include the installation of a stainless\-steel spiral staircase within the north\-east tower and a masterplan to consider the wider regeneration of the Flint Foreshore.  
  
The £217k staircase has been fitted in the same position as the original masonry staircase, allowing visitors access to the tower and an opportunity to enjoy magnificent views from a new platform installed at the top of the stairs.  
   
The regeneration approach is in its early stages, but will look at options for the improvement to the current facilities along the shore. This will include working with Flint’s RNLI, rugby club and football club to improve current facilities, and working with partners such as the Local Authority to develop visitor services at Flint Castle.
