What is recorded here
Millstone quarry in Houndscourt made enormous stone wheels on the slope of Coolfree Mountain. Making the first one must have been a proud moment, followed immediately by the discovery that ‘Who’s holding it?’ was a question best asked earlier.
Site of millstone quarry recorded in 1975 by J. Borler and A. Lynch and described as located on W slope of Coolfree Mountain where millstones were produced (NMI Top. Files; Unpub. UCC Arch. Dept. Files).
