Description
Wharf located on the south bank of the river Teifi and serving the slate industry. From here slate was shipped to Cardigan for onward transport. The wharf served a number of slate quarries situated along the river bank as depicted on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey of 1889, including the Cefn and Plain quarries and quarry Dol-badau.
