The local archeologists seem to have found Llanerch though. (Tir Isaf
Tramway) "A tramway marked on the first edition (1881) Ordnance Survey map.
The tramway is shown as running between the Swansea Valley Line (ID 1699.0w)
and two coalmines, Fowlers Pit (PRN 01924w) and Tir Isaf Pit (NPRN401516,
labelled as Llanerch Slant on the second edition (1899) Ordnance Survey
map."
