Carravilleen Mine (OS 082041)

At this location there is a filled shaft, debris and foundations of a small engine house. There is a pier and an old winding mechanism to the sea, presumably for loading of materials as this would have been a difficult site to reach by road.

Copper was produced from chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite between 1840-79 but there is no further record of any output. See Cole's Memoir pages 53, 58.
