Small pit with barracks nearby and bandly degraded tramway formation.*
The quarry was a small open working active from the eighteenth century and was expanded during the 1870s. It was taken over by Cefn Du in 1886, with slate carried by tramway to the head of the Ffridd incline. Output was modest, only a few hundred tons per year.
