What is recorded here
No exact date, no owner's name, no visible shaft. The absence itself is the shape: a lead wound hidden under Conwy stone, waiting for someone brave or reckless enough to find it.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Trecastle Lead Mine as Lead 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.
Trecastle Lead Mine is associated with the Trecastle estate in Brecon, Powys, and was likely operated during the 18th or 19th century as part of the lead mining industry in the Welsh borderlands. It is remembered for its historical contribution to local mining activity and the industrial heritage of the region.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
