Lead Mine

What is recorded here

Pen-y-Crogbren, Pen y Crocbren, Dyfngwm and Castle Rock Lead Mine remain a multiperiod lead mine in Powys, Wales. The name itself carries several layers, as if people kept returning to the same rock and calling it again. Lead mines have never been gentle; they take breath, strength and patience. That this place still bears more than one name suggests it gave itself up in stages, not all at once.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Pen-y-Crogbren; Pen y Crocbren; Dyfngwm; Castle Rock Lead Mine as Lead Mine from the Multiperiod 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.
