Remains of cusher house, tramways and leat.
In the 18C, worked by the Taylors along with Glog Fach, Lagaulas and Fron Goch as part of Lisburne Mined following opening of Lefel Fawr. Long leat from Llyn Fyrddon constructed to fill reserovirs at Glog Fawr and Glog Fach operating water wheels there. The water subsequently routed to Logaulas.
Both Glog mines, occupying high and exposed locations were the subject of the Tylors’ early attention. Both mines yielded ore very quickly.
Prior to the Taylors, the previous incumbent - Williams had made a good return, and the Taylors had high hopes also.
