Description
Sited now on a virtually inaccessible rock pinnacle are what appear to a couple of stone structures, possibly the remains of slate processing workshops. At the top of the pinnacle is also the masonry base of what is described on the OS 25 inch map of 1907 as "statue". This had gone by 1921 when the old RCAHMW Pembrokeshire report stated that: "...has been washed away". 10m above OD.
