Type Of SiteINCLINED PLANE
Period19th Century
Description
The upper part of an incline connecting the main source of ore to the lower processing works at Berthlwyd, a distance of about 600m. The incline is rather vague on the ground at a mid point but continues on into the woodland that has overwhelmed the lower site. Probably abandoned in the mid C19th century when the lease ran out on the Berthlwyd site (see also NPRN 416368).
