What is recorded here
Ruins of various copper and sulphur mainly open cast mines, established c.1850. The grouping comprises now mainly ruinous buildings tall industrial chimneys and various tramways. The buildings are all roofless and are constructed in granite while the chimneys are constructed either in brick or a mixture of brick and stone. Large scars are still visible across the landscape.
Though mainly ruinous, these structures (belonging to a once vital mining complex) are an important part of County Wicklow's industrial heritage.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
