Treforys Deserted Quarry Settlement is a post-medieval and modern civil settlement in Conwy, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the reference CN321. The site represents the physical remains of a quarrying community that developed to exploit local stone resources, with settlement patterns and structures reflecting the industrial and domestic organisation of quarry workers and their families.
