There is a long history of mining in the Durrus/Mizen area. There is a reference c 1310 by Edmund Gould in the British History online papers to a lead mine in Belamire which is probably near Sea Lodge (Townland Gearhameen), Durrus.

The historic Ordnance Survey map c 1830 shows a Lead Mine in the vicinity of Clonee to the south of the present Bog Road from Durrus to Bantry.

This is from the local newspaper later known as ‘The Skibbereen Eagle’ notorious for ‘Keeping an eye on the Czar’ and later incorporated into the ‘Southern Star’.

The records from the 1850s to 1909 to the date of vesting of holdings through the Land Commission has been partly updated from ledgers in the Cork Archive (Bandon Collection). Management of the western estates c 1880 was removed from Colonel Bernard to the Wheeler Doherty firm of Estate Agents and Solicitors. There are frequent references to Colonel Bernard and his local agent Charles Skuse, Clashadoo in the 1870s.
