The former cliff colliery at Trefrane, Newgale, Pembrokeshire nestles in a small valley at the southern end of Newgale Beach. The extant remains comprise a substantially intact stone and brick chimney (Grade II listed). The square chimney rises to 14m in height and is just over 2m square at its base. The adjacent foundations of the former engine house, and a related spoil tip are situated to the north and west.
The remains of the colliery were recorded on the 11th October 2022 in the aftermath of a major wildfire that swept through the site in late summer 2022. The associated burning revealed the extent of archaeological remains not visible in our survey earlier in the year (see https://skfb.ly/owzWD).
Trefrane is listed in the National Monuments Record of Wales (NPRN33589) https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/33589. The work was undertaken as part of the CHERISH Project, to find out more visit our website:http://www.cherishproject.eu/en/
