Esgair Hir and Esgair Fraith Mine [SN738 912]

Esgair Hir1

An area rich in industrial archaeology near these two disused lead mines in the uplands beyond Cwm Ceulan, including the ruins of the barracks where many miners slept during the week.  Less obvious but equally interesting are the cluster of small ‘lakes’ (Nant y Cagl, Plas y Mynydd, Conach and Dwfn) and the network of leats built to supply the area’s lead mines with water.
