Description
Linear slate quarry, possibly with underground working, although any possible entrance is inaccessible due to dense vegetation. Marked on the 1889 OS, by which time it was already abandoned. Approximately 50m NE-SW and up to 10m wide and 7m deep. Vertical bedrock faces are exposed in places. Part of the Wernlas-deg quarry (520444) begun in the 1870s, probably abandoned by 1889.
Recorded as part an Uplands Initiative field survey.
