Shafts on the farmlands of Bryndigrif (SJ 1260 7940) to the north, following an east to west vein that continues through the woodland. To the extreme east, a single shaft remains near Nant Evan at SJ 1385 7920. The adit level Appears lost but was apparently driven from the southeast of Pentre-ffynnon Farm. Although little evidence remains at the given NGR in Burt et al. (1992), the workings of Bryndigrif concur with this short-worked sett.



The 19th century returns reference the site in close proximity to Brindigrif Mine (Burt et al. 1992), where the settlement seems to have explored the Bryn Vein and the Butcher Vein at an earlier period.
