A CHECK LIST
OF IRISH MINES BY COUNTY
This listing is based on the published
Mineral Statistics and therefore only records 19th and early 20th century workings.
The fact that no production is recorded for some sites and for some periods
does not necessarily mean that no ore was raised. Added to the list however
are other sites where mining activity is known to have taken place. Sometimes
the borderline between testing and working a mineral showing is not clear; hence
sites which have no record of ore production are merely noted.
Alternative or erroneous spellings are listed alphabetically with bracketed reference (see - ) to standard Ordnance Survey spelling which is used throughout. Where the variant spelling is very close to the correct version it is merely noted in brackets. Sub-mines are gathered together under the main mining area in which they occur. Thus Cloan and Mountain are part of Allihies; Foxrock and Glendalough come under Luganure; Ballynoe and Shallee form part of Silvermines.
Click on any county to see listing of sites or
scroll down full list using scroll bar to the right, you can return to "Top
of Page" from each county.
Further information is available on the website for those minesites underlined/
or in blue, just click on name.
