English: Posibly the world's largest Bronze Age coper mine, Pen y Gogarth (Great Orme), Llandudno, Wales. Large-scale human activity on the Great Orme began around 4,000 years ago during the Bronze Age with the opening of several copper mines. The copper ore malachite was mined using stones and bone tools. It is estimated that up to 1,760 tonnes of copper was mined during the period. The mine was most productive in the period between 1700BC and 1400BC
