Daren Lead Mine Workings and Adit is a post-medieval and modern industrial lead mine located in Ceredigion, Wales. The site comprises surface workings and an adit system that reflects the intensive exploitation of lead ore deposits in the region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when Welsh lead mining formed a significant part of the British mining industry. The physical remains include the characteristic features of lead mine workings: excavated ground surfaces, spoil heaps, and the driven adit or tunnel that provided access to the ore body and facilitated drainage and ventilation of the underground workings.
