Llangattock Tramroad Inclines is a Post Medieval transport structure forming part of the tramroad system constructed in Breconshire during the early nineteenth century. The inclines were engineered to facilitate the transport of limestone and other materials down the steep terrain of the Brecon Beacons, connecting quarries and works at higher elevations to the main tramroad network below. The site demonstrates the technological adaptation required to work within the challenging topography of South Wales during the period of industrial expansion. The physical remains preserve evidence of the infrastructure associated with this important transport system that served the industrial operations of the region during the nineteenth century.
