Description
An inclined plane running upslope in a roughly north-east/south-west direction. It is the westernmost (highest) of a series of inclines running up the Glyn Rhonwy slate quarry complex (NPRN 400675). The site survives as embanked stone revetted walls on the western end and descends the hill as a sunken hollow measuring 4m wide by 2m deep and 237m long. The site is marked on both the OS 1st Edition and current mapping. South end is SH5576660113. North end is SH5588260320. P.J. Schofield, OANorth, 26th June 2007
