A striking black and white photograph of the tall, cylindrical stone chimney of Ballycorus Lead Mines, also known as Carrickgollogan Tower, standing prominently on a hilltop. A spiral staircase wraps around its exterior. In the background, a vast landscape extends towards the sea under a clear sky, with a town visible in the distance. The foreground shows rugged terrain and low-lying vegetation.

A low-angle, black and white shot of the Ballycorus Lead Mines chimney stack, showing its circular stone construction and the remnants of a winding stone staircase curving up its side. The tower tapers slightly towards the top, with a dark, circular cap.
