MINES - Geological Linear Features
A national dataset of geological linear features associated with mining activity in Ireland, published by the Environmental Protection Agency. It includes faults, fold axes, lines of subsidence, mineralized veins, and structural contours. The dataset is part of a broader collection of mine-related geospatial data and can support geological assessment, land-use planning, and environmental monitoring in areas affected by past or present mining operations.Linear mine features consisting of Faults, Fold axis, Lines of subsidence, minearlized veins and structural contours.
