The adit is fenced and disgorges a great quantity of water into the river. The level commences through neck deep water gradually shallowing. At the end is a choke which is presumably at the base of a shaft as evidenced by a rope and the remains of an old electron ladder. This point is presumably beneath the main workings. Just before this point is a small stope in a vein.The mine is also linked underground to the Ffriddllechwedd workings.
