John,
A short account of the mine, 6.5 miles SW of Rhayader, was published in
George Hall's, Metal Mines of Southern Wales, (Kington, 2nd. edn., 1993) pp.
84-85. He mentions Tetley but admits that the reports on the mine (in the
Mining Journal which was his primary source) were 'far from explicit and
sometimes confusing'.
