Hafodlas Slate Quarry Mills and Associated Features is a post-medieval and modern water power system located in Conwy, Wales, serving the slate quarrying industry that dominated the region from the eighteenth century onwards. The site comprises mill structures and water management infrastructure, including channels and drainage systems, that were engineered to harness water power for processing and extracting slate. These features reflect the industrial development of North Wales during the period of intensive slate extraction, when water-powered machinery became essential to quarrying operations. The monument, now a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw's protection (SAM CN295), represents an important surviving example of the technological systems that supported the region's significant slate industry.
