Summary

Description
Cymraeg: Mwyngloddiau Copr y Gogarth, Mehefin 2023. Dechreuwyd mwyngloddio copr ar Ben y Gogarth tua 4000 o flynyddoedd yn ôl, a chafodd mwy na phedair milltir o dwneli ac ogofâu eu cloddio yn ystod yr Oes Efydd, pan ddefnyddiwyd cerrig igneaidd yn ogystal ag esgyrn gwartheg, defaid, geifr ac ati fel offer cloddio. Mae'n bosibl bod copr wedi cael ei allforio o Ben y Gogarth i gyfandir Ewrop, hyd yn oed, yn ystod yr Oes Efydd.
English: Gogarth Copper Mines, June 2023.

Copper mining began on Ben y Gogarth around 4000 years ago, and more than four miles of tunnels and caves were excavated during the Bronze Age, when igneous stones as well as the bones of cattle, sheep, goats etc. were used as digging tools. . It is possible that copper was exported from Ben y Gogarth to continental Europe, even, during the Bronze Age.
