Description

 

Remains of a mid-nineteenth century porcelain/china clay works sited at the coastal inlet of Porth Llanleiana. The remains comprise the roofless ruin of the main building, with a squat stone-built chimney stack built on the hillslope beyond and the remains of a shed and revetment walls. China clay was quarried from the rocks and slopes of Dinas Dynfor hillfort behind the works, and to the south of the beach.
