Geocache Description:

The gunpowder mills on Corkagh Estate, active during the 18th and 19th centuries, were regarded as a nationally important centre for the production of gunpowder and provided employment for many local people. Most of the mill buildings were situated in Kilmatead which adjoins Corkagh.

Explosions were common occurrences at gunpowder mills. However an explosion in 1787 was so big that it was felt as far away as the city and caused damage to buildings around Clondalkin. The mill building itself was completely destroyed.
