What is recorded here

Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as a 'good coalemine for smithes' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 130). On the 1903 ed. OS 6-inch map there is a 'coal pit (disused)' indicated c. 100m W of Coolquill castle (TS054-053----) but not on the first ed. OS 6-inch map. This may have been an early coal mine which was reworked in the 19th century. Mine unlocated within townland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
