A flooded slate quarry is evident on visualisations derived from Airborne Laser Scanning at NM 74807 14542. An area of quarry waste lies about 50m to the NW, while a section of tramway links the two. Other quarry pits and spoil are interdigitated along the coast to the E and a roofless building, associated with the quarry stands to the NE (NW71SW 67).
