Brynamman (Welsh: Brynaman) is a village on the south side of the Black Mountain (Y Mynydd Du), part of the Brecon Beacons National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog).

Ruins of stone dwellings (possibly prehistoric), an early type of lime kiln and rectangular medieval buildings found on the mountain show that people have lived in this area for a long time.

[1][2] Brynamman was previously known as Y Gwter Fawr (Welsh: "The Big Gutter"); The name was changed when the railway from Ammanford reached the village.

[4] Ynys Dawela Nature Park is situated to the west of Brynamman, in the upper reaches of the Amman Valley.

The site narrowly escaped opencast mining, before Dinefwr Borough Council secured its future by purchasing it from British Coal.
