IONTOABH OIDHREACHT NA MIANADÓIREACHTA

The whole of this area is rich in small mineral veins but, due to the terrain and vegetation, they are very difficult to locate. The largest of these is Currughduff Mine, which was worked in the 1860s, producing copper, nickel, lead and iron pyrites (output unknown). The whole area abounds with trial pits and adits but these are mostly collapsed or small trials. There is a well-defined tramway that seems to service all of the area. See Cole's Memoir page 29.
