Ancient Mine or Quarry in Co. Antrim
Three small outcrops of porcellanite can be seen on the higher SE slope of this conspicuous peak. Rejects, flakes and part-finished axe-heads may still be found round about and on the hilltop – but no finished ones. It was here that the axe-heads were roughed out before being finished at the seashore (Whitepark Bay) , and exported all over the British Isles.
The cairn on top of Tievebulliagh is probably of Bronze Age date.
