The Barnacullia quarries are a number of former, and current, granite quarries in the townland of Barnacullia on the north-eastern slopes of Three Rock Mountain in the county of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Ireland. According to a Historic Landscape Character Assessment (HLCA) conducted in 2006, the area was at one point "an important source of granite for the buildings of nearby Dublin". The main quarry at Barnacullia is sometimes referred to as Murphystone quarry, after the name of a company who used/uses it, or Blue Light quarry after the name of a well-known nearby pub. Other quarries onsite include Black Quarry, where UPC Communications Ireland Ltd erected a stayed telecommunications mast.
