  Description

  'Lead Mine/Calamine & Lead Mine/Sulphur mine/Copper Mine/Shafts' Situated on the N-facing slope of the Silvermines mountain range with extensive views. A large industrial mining complex consisting of several mines extracting sulphur, calamine, lead, silver, copper and zinc which have been operating since the seventeenth century. Present remains consist of two Cornish engine houses, several industrial buildings and many shafts of nineteenth century date. Gleeson (1937, 102-4) suggests that the thirteenth-century historical references to mining in Tipperary were references to the Silvermines. Gleeson also suggests that a petition from the miners in Ireland to the Treasurer and Barons of the exchequer in Ireland dated AD 1303 were from the mines located in the parish of Kilmore (ibid., 104-5). More recently however Cowman argues that these references do not mention any specific location and could refer to any mines in the county of Tipperary (Cowman 1988, 96-7). The first specific reference to mining in the Silvermines is in 1631 when Messrs Whitmore and Webb were granted mining rights at Knockaunderrick (Silvermines) (ibid., 97). In the Civil Survey there is a reference to the 'silver mines of Knockan Idirke' which is located in the townlands of Ballygowen and Erenagh (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 244). It is possible that there was mining here from the prehistoric period up until the twentieth century although evidence for prehistoric mining has yet to be discovered. On the N-facing slope of the hill once known as Knockaunderrick near the destroyed castle of Dunally (TN026-058001) there is evidence of an early mine which may be seventeenth-century in date with possible evidence of a miners settlement 500m to the N in the form of grass-covered wall-footings. A cliff-face has been quarried into and a large spoil heap with evidence of copper ore is located outside the entrance. The entrance to the mine was waterlogged at time of visit. This could be the remains of the 'Royal mines of Dunaille or Knockanderry' mentioned in a patent issued by King Charles I (Gleeson 1937, 107). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
