Description
1. Old workings, described by Lewis Morris; mine buildings and miners' cottages.
2. Active before 1735 and known to have been at work 1839-82. At times operated with Llwynteifi (Nprn33887), Ystumtuen (Nprn33909), Cwm Rheidol (33828), Tynfron (Nprn91748) and Bwlchgwyn (Nprn33821). Possibly opperated during Cwm Rheidol's rennaisance, 1910-17.
