Remains of cusher house, tramways and leat.
Mine served by adits from the Marchnant Valley and an Engine shaft on the main lode. A large water wheel both pumped via flat roda, and wound ore up the shaft.
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 Taylors’ early attention. Both mines yielded ore very quickly. It seems the Taylors interest then lapsed
