Tievebulliagh

Tievebulliagh is a 402-metre-high mountain in the Glens of Antrim [1]. Evidence has been discovered of a Neolithic axe quarry at the foot of Tievebulliagh [1]. Flint axe heads fashioned from porcellanite that originate from this quarry have been found across the British Isles [1]. Flakes, rejects and part-finished axes have been found round the hill and peak [1]. It was here that the axes were roughed out before being finished at the sea shore [1]. They were then exported as far afield as south-west Ireland, south-east England and north-east Scotland [1].
