History
In 2010 or shortly before that year, thirteen 2nd-4th century BC (Middle Iron Age) copper smelting furnaces were found in Domgay Lane. These were clay-lined pits equipped with block tuyeres, the latter indicating the use of bellows. Further associated remnants pointed at the smelting of a zinc-rich copper carbonate ore, with very little slag by-product. This ore was likely extracted in Llanymynech Hill (see Llanymynech Heritage Area), which had shallow mine galleries from the Iron Age similar to those of Great Orme.
Historically, the village was a centre for milk collection. The Four Crosses Creamery produced prize winning ice cream which was distributed over a large area of mid/north Wales and adjoining counties.
