Description
Limekilns (SN 9167 2832: Figs. 116, 118 in the Brecon Forest Tramroads) probably in a fairly complete state. The drawing-tunnels and most of the front facade are fairly complete but the two charging bowls are completely buried. The Castell-du Tramroad Wharf was developed by John Christie in the mid 1820s and expanded by Joseph Claypon a decade later. Published as part of Stephen Hughes, 'The Archaeology of an Early Railway System: The Brecon Forest Tramroads' (RCAHMW, Aberystwyth, 1990).
