What is recorded here
Castle Rock Gorge Lead and Zinc Mine marks a forgotten excavation in Powys, Wales, where heavy metals once bled from living rock. The unknown period suggests human hands broke through ancient stone before memory faded. That loss of time does not diminish the violence of the dig or the purpose behind it.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castle Rock Gorge Lead and Zinc Mine as Mine from the Unknown period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
