Discovery of small, oval-shaped stone tools in the area points to the fact that it has been mined for lead since the time of ancient Britons and during Roman occupation. Documentation of mining activities occurred during the reign of Elizabeth I. She engaged the services of two German miners, then went on to sub-let to Hugh Myddleton.[2]
The only significant flat area of the cwm is found before the river reaches maturity near Trawsgoed some Script error: No such module "convert". further west.
