Place & story
Fuel and the mountain streams
Near Aghacashel, Samuel Lewis recorded local people working coal to a limited extent in 1837. His Kiltubbrid account also described deposits of pipe-clay and yellow ochre in mountain stream channels around the locality. Disused furnace remains were visible near Slieve-an-irin. These observations record both extraction and material remains in the wider mountain district, without establishing a single continuous mining or ironworking enterprise. [2]
