Hetty Pit is a post-medieval and modern industrial colliery located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw reference GM459. The site represents the coal mining industry that developed across South Wales during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, reflecting the region's significant role in British industrial production. As a colliery installation, Hetty Pit would have comprised mining infrastructure typical of the period, including shaft structures, winding equipment, and associated surface workings that characterised deep coal extraction operations. The monument preserves evidence of Wales's industrial heritage and the landscape transformation brought about by large-scale mining activity during the modern industrial period.
