Batt's Wall :: J2825
Batt's Wall is a dry stone wall in the western Mourne Mountains. It was built by Narcissus Batt of Purdysburn during the famine years in the mid 19th Century, probably as a work relief project. The wall runs from Tievedockdaragh to Slieve Muck.
Spelga Dam :: J2627
Spelga Dam is a reservoir in the Mourne Mountains. It was constructed 1953-1957 and supplies water to parts of Counties Armagh and Down. Together with nearby Fofanny Reservoir, it can supply 6,500,000 gallons of water per day and discharges 500,000 gallons a day back into the River Bann.
See Link for a video on the construction of the dam.
