Slate Quarry, Caseg Valley / Gyrn Wigau
Looking across the Caseg valley towards Yr Elen
| Date | 19 March 2011 | ||
| Location | Gyrn Wigau / Caseg valley, Carneddau | SH 65202 66723; 53.18046°N, 4.01853°W | |
|
Information |
The quarry is located in the Caseg valley on the lower southern slopes of Gyrn Wigau. A short adit, whose entrance is on the level of the foot of the waste tip, leads into a small pit in the middle of the main extractive area. There seems to be some debate as to whether the workings here were known as Afon Gaseg or Dr Hughes Quarry.

Although the entrance to the bottom adit is completely covered over by a waste heap, the entrances to the middle and top adits are still clear.
