Description
A tramway linking the main source of ore to the processing work at Cefn Coch, a distance of about 270m. At its E end by the adit there is an oval loop, possibly a passing place. There are two stone constructed viaducts. At the W end by the processing works the track bends sharply to a point where the ore could be offloaded into a chute above the main processing area of the works and probably supported by a timber superstructure that has not survived. Near to this W end of the tramway is some iron track in situ. The gauge was 1 foot 9 ins. No sleepers are now visible but may survive.
