The Mining Heritage Society of Ireland is convening a meeting on
Nov. 4 - 5, in Bunmahon, Co. Waterford, Ireland to present the results of an
archaeo-geophysical survey of the Tankardstown Engine House complex. This
is the first time that such a survey has been undertaken on a 19th Century mine
site in Ireland. The survey,including GPR, magnetics and IP, was
conducted earlier this year by Kevin Barton, University College, Galway, to
assist interpretation of the site prior to commencing conservation work on the
buildings. The programme will include presentations by Kevin Barton, Ken
Brown and Ian Forbes, and will include a site visit.
MHSI members have
already been notified of this meeting, but if any non-members are interested in
attending, and require extra information, please contact myself, John Morris,
