Coed-y-fedw

Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 18050
Trust : Clwyd Powys
Community : Llanferres
Unitary authority : Denbighshire
NGR : SJ19906170
Site Type (preferred type first) : POST MEDIEVAL LEAD MINE

Description :
Lead (1881-1884)

Geology
Cefn-y-fedw Sandstone.

Workings
The main mine area remains within Cefn-y-fedw wood and was operated by the Coedyfedw and Pantybuarth Company in the late 19th century.

Several shafts can be identified at random intervals in the woodland surrounding the wheelpit and shaft at SJ19856166.

Spreads of spoil and a little ash slag cover the area.

Transport
No evidence.

Power
Remains of a stone structure some 5 x 4m appear only just above the ground level now apart from the north wall which survives to 2m with no features, built on top of a natural bank. The evidence of slag in the waste would suggest engine power and there are no watercourses discernable.

To the west of it, a stone-built wheelpit survives to its likely former height of approx 2m with a shaft to the west if it.

Processing
No evidence.

Other features
No evidence.
