Lime Workings

What is recorded here

Castle Ely Quarry, Red Roses is a Post Medieval lime working site in Carmarthenshire where heat and hammer turned raw stone into useful powder. The quarry may have fed local buildings, roads or fields, depending on what the owners needed and when. Its name suggests a place marked by ownership, location or a vivid image rather than a grand public monument.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castle Ely Quarry, Red Roses as Lime Workings from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
