Place & story
Quarries, fields and the harbour
Samuel Lewis recorded active slate quarries in Templeomalus parish in 1837, describing a clay-slate substratum and slate exported through Ring on Clonakilty Harbour. Quarrying had also damaged the parish’s eleven-acre glebe over many years. Around this working landscape, farmers used sea-sand and seaweed as manure for corn and potatoes. Ring’s large stores and flour mill served a trade in grain, potatoes and flour alongside the slate exports. The account connects extraction, farming and harbour commerce without identifying a single operator for them all. [2]
