Airborne Laser Scanning Interpretation (17 January 2022)
NM71SW 63 74752 14470
Slate quarrying is evident on visualisations derived from Airborne Laser Scanning at Cuan Point covering an area of about 2.7ha. The main quarry (NM 7481 1448) is now flooded while a second (NM 7476 1439) was set into the cliff face to its S; spoil is focussed in both a broad fan to the W and a smaller area to the E, and two roofless buildings are apparent (at NM 7483 1441 and NM 7474 1442). The quarry is depicted on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyll and Bute sheet cxxi.SE, 1900).
