LISBURNE, a place of lead-mines in the NE of Cardigan; near Hafod-Park, 14 miles ESE of Aberystwith. The mines belong to the Earl of Lisburne, employ a large number of persons, and produce about 3,000 tons of lead a year. The main veins of ore run from E to W, and are from 4 to 6 feet thick; and the lesser veins thin out from the main ones, and can be traced at rocky spots of the hill, and at the sides and in the beds of neighbouring brooks.
