Two sets of pit workings, one above the other. Access by tunnel, but little product seems to have been produced.
Very little survives at the site, with only traces of the incline formation and ruined buildings visible today. The higher-level tipping run is unexpectedly long and well-built, indicating significant spoil management during the quarry’s operational period. The tunnel into the pit has collapsed, leaving only the entrance or disturbed ground as evidence of its former existence. Access track most likely a tramway leading to a bridge across the Dwyfor.
The quarry was operating during the 1840s and 1850s, likely producing stone from a hillside or elevated working. Material was lowered by incline to a lower working area where a mill or processing site may have existed.
