Most significant feature to be seen is the well made exit incline with the vestiges of it’s drum house. The volume of waste suggests almst no product went down to the mill. Adits are little more than short trial drives.



Relatively small surface pit worked quarry on three levels which aren’t connected. The small mill was on the opposite side of the road in the village. Working was very sporadic and never profitable. Despite being close to the Upper Corris Railway there was never a rail connection here.
