Brief description

At the base of the dam are the ruins of the Bryntail lead mine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryntail_lead_mine and https://cadw.gov.wales/visit/places-to-visit/bryntail-lead-mine-buildings

"Peaceful remains of a busy industrial hub:

Sitting in the shadow of the dam at the southern end of Llyn Clywedog Reservoir, Bryntail’s buildings illuminate a time when this tranquil spot was a bustling site of industry. During the 19th century this was a noisy, smoky place as lead was extracted and processed, before being transported to nearby Llanidloes and shipped down the River Severn.

Bryntail closed in 1884 as the local mining boom came to an end. The remains that still stand include crushing houses, ore bins, roasting ovens, smithy and the mine manager's office."
