Conservation of the massive remains of a 19th century
iron works and colliery is currently being undertaken by Pembrokeshire
County Council.
In advance of conservation, detailed recording, including the
production of stone-by-stone drawings of the major buildings is
being carried out by Dyfed Archaeological
Trust.
To date, calcining kilns, an engine house and a revetment wall
to the blast furnaces have been recorded. Currently, revetment walls
to the calcining kilns are being worked on.
The conservation work is funded by the Welsh Development Agency
and Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments; W S Atkins are the consulting
engineers and Taylor Woodrow Construction Ltd the main contractors.
