Ballacorkish Mine


Description:  Modern lead mine.

The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 records "Lead Mines" at this location. The map shows a single building, probably an engine house, immediately to the east of a shaft, and north of a spoil heap. The grid reference relates to the mineshaft.
