Small quarry and incline.**

Remains include the quarry’s working face, an exploratory tunnel, and the remains of a drum house that was part of the incline leading to the road. Although the quarry was known for producing slab, there are no signs of sawing facilities or cut slate ends found on site.



Operated during the late 1800s, supplying slate slabs to the Aberystwyth enamelling works via the Cambrian Railways.
