The mines at Mine Head were originally owned by Sir Walter Raleigh, but were later sold to Sir Richard Boyle. They were renouned for the high quality of the ore, but might not have survived beyond the 1641 rebellion (Power 1978a, 32). Mine Head is probably named from them, but the location of the mines is unknown.

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.
