Mills flattened and area occupied by agricultural buildings. The Pen-yr incline can still be seen as well as the route of the water supply. Adit lost to later tipping.



Small underground block slate working from a single adit. A short incline gave access to the water-powered mill (which also processed other slate from Penmachno group quarries)
