Description :
Lead/Silver (1897-1913)

Carboniferous Limestone.

Workings
No returns were made for the Plasyresgob Company operating 1897-97 on the same sett as the Plas Winter Mining Company. The Mine began operations in an attempt to locate the Bryngwiog Vein to the east of the Nant-figallt fault.

At the NGR for Plas Winter given in Burt et al (1992) only earthworks remain in the area to the south-east of Moel-y-crio, which continues on an easterly vein towards Moel-y-gaer Hillfort (SJ20106910).

This very large later mining company made considerable returns for lead and silver and employed a large workforce from 1888-1913. From 1906, it operated as part of the Bryngwiog Mine, which covered some 265 acres of mineral rites to the south of Moel-y-crio.

Transport
No evidence.

Power
No evidence.

Processing
The pools that still hold water to the west of Moel-y-gaer may have served the dressing floors. An area of waste lies along the public footpaths to the north of Llety'r'Eos (SJ19906885).

Other features
No evidence.
