| Transport | There was a tramway connection from the levels to the head of the Hafotty incline. [OS 6" Merionethshire sheet XXXVI.NW Surveyed: 1887, Published: 1888 map.] | ||||||||||||||||
| Remains | An intermittent series of shallow depressions and grassed-over waste tips, continuing northwards as Hafotty mine and southwards as Cell Fechan mine. Small underground working approximately 2 m x 4 m at SH616172 with pack walls and wooden props. Worked out chamber at SH615169. (March 2002) | ||||||||||||||||
| Access | Most remains are close to, and accessible from, Public Rights of Way. | ||||||||||||||||
Working was probably limited by the poor access to this part of the outcrop and the instability of the company [Down 1980: 43].
