Mine in Grallagh Lower,grallagh Upper

It is thought that Sir Walter Raleigh operated a mine at Grallagh c. 1600, but there is no recored of the Earl of Cork operating them subsequently (Power 1978, 32-3). The mines were worked again betweem 1850 and 1860. There is no evidence of mine-working at Grallagh, and if evidence of the Raleigh workings survive they are unlocated. Power, T.
