Sheep pen, Ynys Fawr An old pen made from slabs of slate has been modified and extended using corrugated iron and anything else that came to hand. The slate probably came down from the quarries via the nearby Croesor Tramway. The route of the tramway here was later incorporated into the Welsh Highland Railway.
