Workings
Early workings appear to run in south from Alltgymbyd Farm towards Bod Idris Hall. They appear as open cuts, which traverse the limestone ridges and possible trial pits in the lower areas. A single shaft lies in the field to the south of the farm at
SJ20455475; two shafts can be identified in woodland at SJ20505444 and a further shaft at SJ20555425 on the edge of the woods. It is difficult to determine the workings of Alltgymbyd to the south from the Bod Idris Mine.
