What is recorded here
Melted copper and struck flint still bury beneath Ballyboley soil. People worked metal and stone there across ages, leaving tools and scraps behind. The land remembered their labour long after they vanished.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Neolithic industrial activity and Bronze Age occupation site. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; L.B.A.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
