DisgrifiadMinllyn is a slate and slab quarry (nprn 310049) begun in the C19, the most productive phase of which began after the Carlyle Slate & Slab Company was formed in 1872. Work ceased in 1924. The rock-cut entrance to a slate mine is one of the earlier phases of working, which was superseded when the hill above was quarried out from the surface (nprn 527485). The mine entrance faces E, but is now almost completely buried by spoil which has subsided from a tip (NPRN527482) above it.
