Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Bryn-yr-arian Mine, Dyfed; Cardiganshire
This small mine worked a number of veins which cross in the centre of the mine. The records of working start from 1849 to 1853, and in 1869. It would appear that the best ore was mined well befor the above dates.
Recorded output:
294 tons of lead ore
53 tons of zinc ore
