3. Active prior to 1845 as Bronberllan, re-opened 1848 and 1852, and working from 1856-1861, 1877-82, 1886-91, 1893-98 and 1905-9.
Surface remains include scant remains of dressing floors, centred on SN44336612, with a ruined house adjecent to the E and tips and settling pits to the W and S, all lying before the site of the deep adit entrance. To the N the remains of a rock-cut wheelpit have been partly destroyed by a quarry. Traces of a tramway link the wheelpit to two shaft heads (SN74386632), between which and a group of five level entrances and tips (Nprn300605), are the site of a second wheelpit and traces of a leat and flat-rod run. A further level entrance and tip is situated in Coed Pen-y-bannau, to the N and an outlying shaft, not located in 1992, appears to be indicated on OS Landline at SN74556662.
