Description
Aran Slate Quarry (nprn 526220) is a C19 slate quarry marked as disused on the 1875 OS map. The small outlying quarry working was probably only a trial, but has exposed near-vertical faces on the N, S and W sides up to 1.7m high. It is approximately 4.5m N-S by 3.5m. The E side is open where there is some spoiil now buried under turf.
