Mine Site Features
This dataset, published by Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency, provides a shapefile of mining-related features typically found on mine sites across the country. It captures polygon-based features such as historic mine buildings and other structures or areas associated with mining activity. The dataset supports mapping and spatial analysis of mine sites at a national level, offering a geographic reference for identifying historic mining infrastructure and related site characteristics within Ireland.This shapefile contains a range of mining features found on a typical mine site. This includes historic mine buildings and other typical mining features that are polygon in nature.
