Bryndyfi Lead Mine is a post-medieval and modern industrial lead mining site located in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference CD126. The mine represents the exploitation of metalliferous deposits that characterised the industrial development of mid-Wales during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Lead mining in the region was driven by commercial demand and technological advances in extraction and processing, though specific details of Bryndyfi's operational chronology and peak production periods remain recorded in industrial heritage surveys and mining records. The physical remains at the site would typically include evidence of mining infrastructure such as shafts, adits, spoil heaps, and associated surface workings characteristic of lead mining operations of this era.
