A tall, slender grey stone chimney, part of the historic Ballycorus Lead Mine, stands prominently under a bright blue sky with a few scattered white clouds. A distinct spiral staircase winds around the exterior of the chimney. The structure is surrounded by dense, vibrant green gorse bushes and other low-lying shrubs, which frame a narrow dirt path leading towards the chimney's base in the foreground.

A high-contrast black and white photograph showing a steep flight of weathered stone steps curving upwards to the right. To the left, a massive, rugged dry-stone wall is built from large, irregular blocks. The steps have rough, textured surfaces that catch the light, creating deep shadows in the crevices. The background is a flat, pale grey sky, which emphasises the stark silhouette and monumental scale of the ancient stone structure.

High Contrast Pines up near Ballycorus Lead Mine.

A high-contrast black and white photograph of several tall Scots Pine trees in the foreground, their dark, textured bark and spreading needle canopies silhouetted against a pale, clear sky. The trees are positioned on a ridge, overlooking a vast, misty valley with rolling hills and distant fields in the background. The lighting is bright, creating deep shadows in the undergrowth and sharp details on the branches, evoking a peaceful yet dramatic atmospheric mood.

Ballycorus lead mines flue near Kiltiernan in south county Dublin, active 1807-1913. Hiked up there from Shankill today, 4km each way.

We nicked an incredibly heavy “lead pot” there circa 1971, since lost. It was about 10 inches tall. That’s 25cm in the new money:-)

🆕 The new R117 Glenamuck Link Distributor Road opens today.

The old road over Kilternan Bridge is for buses only. Main traffic can use the new Ballycorus Road or De La Salle junctions.
Work continues on the old Glenamuck Road at Rockville.

Take care while people get used to the new road layout.

Used the day off to hike up Carrickgollogan, in the Dublin Mountains
A prominent feature of Carrickgollogan is the flue chimney of the former Ballycorus Leadmine. A stone chimney with an external spiral staricase around it stands on a rise, with gorse plants in the foreground. A view out to sea from atop Carrickgollogan. The city of Dublin can be seen in the distance, with the sea behind, under a cloudy sky. A view out to other mountains in the same range as Carrickgollogan. A view from along the path that leads to the summit of Carrickgollogan. Thick flora is in the foreground. In the distance, a headland hill (Killiney) can be seen in the center of the frame, with a small island (Dalkey) to the right and a larger peninsula (Howth) to the left. The Irish Sea is beyond these lands.
