Mostyn / Hafod Mine

Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 18133
Trust : Clwyd Powys
Community : Whitford
Unitary authority : Flintshire
NGR : SJ12907940
Site Type (preferred type first) : POST MEDIEVAL LEAD MINE

Description :
Lead (Early 19th century)

Geology
Carboniferous Limestone.

Workings
The 19th century returns reference the site in close proximity to Brindigrif Mine (Burt et al 1992) and the sett seems to have explored the Bryn Vein and the Butcher Vein at an earlier period.

Shafts remain evident on the farmlands of Bryndigrif (SJ12607940) to the north following an east to west vein, which continues through the woodland. To the extreme east, a single shaft remains near Nant Evan at SJ13857920.

The adit level was unlocated, but was apparently driven from the South-east of Pentre-ffynnon Farm.

Although little evidence remains at the given NGR in Burt et al (1992), the workings of Bryndigrif concur with this short-worked sett.

Transport
No evidence.

Power
No evidence.

Processing
No evidence.

Other features
No evidence.
