What is recorded here
Freestanding rubble stone mine head, c.1800, on a rectangular plan. Now in ruins. Random rubble stone walls partly collapsed with lime mortar (ivy-clad). Set back from road in own grounds on an elevated site with overgrown grounds to site.
This structure, the remains of a copper and lead mine, is of importance as evidence of a medium-scale industrial practise that historically supported the economy of Knockmahon and Bunmahon. The structure in its present state forms a picturesque feature in the landscape.
