taken 15 years ago, 5 km WNW of Glencar, Co Leitrim, Ireland
Sligo: Benbulbin, Barite Crusher At Glencarbury
The concrete shell of the barite crusher building surrounded by waste rock can be seen; dating from the 1970s when Ireland was Europe’s main producer of barite. (Please note: the mine access track in the Gleniff Valley is strictly on private property; trespassers are not welcome. With the farmer's kind permission I was granted access to walk the track. Many thanks for this privilege.) Elevation 429 metres (1408 feet) Discovery Series Map No.16
