Does anyone have information or can suggest a source of such on mining on Achill Island off the coast of Mayo in the Irish Republic. Specifically
1) Whilst following 'Atlantic Drive' I noted a winch and tripod lifting frame on the top of a cliff at or near Killeennabausty somewhere near (I have no 1:50,000 map available) 680940.Can anyone tell me what is was for?
2) what was the extent of amethyst mining some where near Keem in the 1970s, and
3) what was the whiterock mined near Keel c 1916?
