Lefel Fawr Coal Adit is a coal mining installation located in Breconshire, Wales, dating from the post-medieval and modern industrial period. The adit represents the exploitation of coal seams in the South Wales coalfield and reflects the expansion of coal mining activity in the region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As a horizontal entrance into the coal seam, the adit exemplifies the mining technology and methods employed before deep shaft mining became the dominant extraction method in South Wales. The site is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw, recognising its archaeological and historical importance to the industrial heritage of Wales.
