Abercastle: Quarry Hut

Powder Magazine

What is recorded here

Abercastle: Quarry Hut stands as a Powder Magazine from the 19th Century, marked in the national record despite its modest quarry name. It may have stored dangerous powder for local work or military use, waiting for a trigger that never came. The hut still belongs to that busy century, preserving the risk and labour hidden behind an ordinary stone room.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Abercastle: Quarry Hut as Powder Magazine from the 19th Century 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.
