A small quarry associated with the prospecting for, or mining of metal ores before the 20th century. RPS Dec.2002

A flooded quarry previously identified as Ystrad Ffin Lead Mine, but a spoil tip and a local persons comments suggest this may have been a slate quarry. No other mine-like features are in the vicinity, although low wall footings were visible across the entrance to quarry during the 2007 Upland Survey which may be the remains of a dam. The first edition Ordnance Survey map (OS 1st. Ed. Carms. 6" to 1 mile Sheet X NW; 1891), records the site as 'Old Quarries'.
