Carboniferous Limestone.

Workings
In 1848 the Caelanycraig Mine appears to have beeen working in close proximity to the Lixwm Mine workings on a north-south lode. Both sites lie to the east of the village of Lixwm.

Probable mine tracks lead uphill from the village towards three private dwellings and a field of overgrown mounds at SJ17307100.

To the east of the road running up to Walwen, grassed-over mounds can be seen in the fields that are not built on. A single shaft is located at SJ17307240 to the north of Berthen Farm. The workings were probably trials on the Pant-y-nef cross-course Vein.
