near to Cwmerfyn, Ceredigion/Sir Ceredigion, Great Britain

Mine drainage adit in Cwmerfyn
Mine drainage adit in Cwmerfyn
Cwmerfyn abounds in mining relics but much is overgrown and some has been landscaped. Here is an unmistakable drainage adit. An adit is a horizontal bore into a mine, as opposed to a vertical shaft. Adits were often used for access, but they were also used to drain surplus water (very important in this area of Wales!).
