A small quarry on three levels plus small trials below the tack. The lower trial adits are run in.
The upper level has a wet pit which contains a run in adit. Outside this are the remains of a building and close by another small building outline can be seen.
The middle level has an adit leading to two small chambers the first of which breaks to bank. The second chamber is not worked out and the quarrymens chains are still in situ. A roofing shaft goes to the lower level.
Outside the adit is a very small building and a tip run which cuts through the original incline.
The lower part of the incline is less distinct and the lower level adit is run in.
Output was initially carted to Dolwyddelan but later utilised the Blaenau tunnel construction access road to take material to Blaenau. The main site had a substantial incline which is not known to have been mechanised.
CRoW land
Public footpath running along the Blaenau tunnel construction road passes through the site.
