This small white building served as the weighbridge office of the one-time anthracite colliery just behind it. The mine first opened in the 1770s and operated on and off until about 1873, when it was mothballed until the 1930s, reopening for a couple of years around 1937. The building is thought to date from either 1811, or the 1840s, and would have been a shelter for the clerks and checkweighmen; it was Grade II listed http://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=en&id=6555 & https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300006555-kilgetty-colliery-weighbridge-office-amroth#.XlN_Hyj7RPY in 1991.
