Description
Trackway connecting Nant-y-brain to old lead mines near Pen-y-Gwaith farmstead. Shown on OS 1st edition (CPAT).

A well used trackway, terraced into the slope in places, built up/ embanked in other places. Associated with Nant-Y-Brain Lead Mines, it may post-date trackways associated with Gwegil Hindda farmstead. It may have originally continued east to Nant-Y-Brain farm, but this is no longer apparent.
