Oakeley Quarry Tips is a scheduled ancient monument in Conwy, Wales, comprising the substantial waste heaps associated with slate quarrying operations. The tips date from the nineteenth century onwards, reflecting the intensive industrial exploitation of the slate resources in the region during Wales's period as a major slate-producing area. The site preserves physical evidence of the scale of quarrying activity through its extensive spoil heaps, which remain prominent features of the landscape.
