There is little remaining evidence of the shafts around the northern perimeter of the monastery, or of those further north and to the west of Mwdwl-eithin Farm, which are situated in the fields south of Carmel. However, larger shaft mounds to the north of the monastery can still be identified at the following coordinates: SJ 1611 7617, SJ 1625 7615, and SJ 1622 7625, located to the south of the road as it turns towards Carmel. These shafts are located on the Hopewell and Lord Hill sett. To the west of the monastery, on the St David and Prince David setts, larger shaft mounds can also be identified at SJ 1634 7596 and SJ 1628 7594.

Several small mining companies worked the shafts surrounding St David’s Monastery and St Clare’s Convent, collectively known as Pantasaph. The Milwr Vein cuts through the northern edge of the monastery grounds, and from 1874 to 1882, the St David’s Mining Company operated in this area. To the north of these workings, the Lord Hill Mining Company recorded returns in 1853, while the Hopewell Mining Company was active from 1855 to 1865. The Prince David Company worked in the southwest of the monastery from 1891 to 1903.
