The remains of a cable-operated brake machine for a slate mine incline; the mines and quarry workings lie on the hillside about 400m immediately west of here, and the incline SJ0732 : Forest firebreak led down eastwards to workshops and processing facilities in the area that's now just outside the forest boundary.
