This rather grand slate portal of a drainage adit from the nearby Penrhyn quarry now lies forgotten in a field and almost hidden behind fencing.

The keystone of the portal is inscribed with the date 1849.

The water from the adit runs down a channel into Afon Ogwen.
Year built or dedicated as indicated on the structure or plaque: 1849
