Mourne Wall at Slieve Binnian

The Mourne Wall is a 22 mile long wall in the Mourne Mountains. It was built between 1904 and 1922 by the Belfast Water Commissioners to enclose their catchment areas in the Mournes and protect the area from the effects of cattle and sheep on the water course. The wall is predominately constructed from local granite using traditional dry stone walling techniques. Slieve Binnian is a rugged 747-m. peak in the Mourne Mountains features an old quarry & granite towers. (Newcastle, Ireland)
