What an eerie place. The husks of these old dwellings, surrounded by the granite boulders in their rock slides, is quite chiiling. They are slightly too delapidated to give the impression of a ghost town, but you can imagine how hard life here must have been.
Evidence of the mining lies everywhere, from rusty machinery to simple wooden culverts now clogged and failing to redirect water as they once did.
If you go to Glendalough then this place is well worth the extra 2km walk.
