from Niamh Ní Charra Compositions
A tune I composed and named after the earliest known copper mines in North Western Europe. They can be found on Ross Island, in the Killarney National Park, and date back over 4,500 years ago to the Bronze age. Closed down in the 19th century, they were initially believed to be only several hundred years old, until a ten year archaeological project run by a team from the National University of Ireland, Galway discovered the truth.
It can be found on my latest album “Donnelly’s Arm”.
