Ystrad Einion Mine (SN 706 938) –

In 2009 we conducted a survey of this mine and some underground features, to provide information to the Royal Commission for Ancient Monument in Wales (RCHAMW) to make a reconstructive video of the mine and provide information for interpretation boards. This project was funded by Ceredigion County Council’s “PLWM” Project.–

The Trust also carried out vegetation clearance at the mine to open up pathways through the mine site, so visitors can access. In 2012 we held a Heritage Weekend at the mine, to celebrate the launch of the video.

Excavation complete

Graig Goch Mine (SN 740 740)

The close neighbour of Pont Ceunant Generating Station. Here in 2009 we carried out some archaeological investigations to survey and record the remaining features on the site. We found the remains of two buddles and some wooden launders. We also found parts of the wooden frame of a surface waterwheel, these were probably a common feature of the area but this was the only one found and recorded so far. We hope to return at some point to continue our investigations.–
