Description :
The site of Hafod Copper Works Rolling Mill No.2, lying to the east and south of the Vivian Works Engine House (02426w). The site lies partially under that of Rolling Mill No.1 (08170w) and is shown on the circa. 1828 and 1943 works site plans.

The rolls were powered by the machinery contained in the engine house and were situated to the east of it. The only extant remains are an area of concrete to the south of the engine house, thought to be the base of a reheating furnace associated with the mill.

The mill was originally established between 1842 and 1847.
