The National Monuments Service's description
Shown as 'Pump and Site of Old Lead Mine' on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A lead mine on the shore of Clontarf was mentioned in a list of mines prepared in 1497 which continued in production for 300 years (De Courcy 1996, 80). When the promenade was built the last surviving shaft was incorporated into the base of a shelter on the city side of the swimming baths.
