Heaghney Hill

Heaghney Hill is a lava mound resting on broad lava base. There are eroded flows to both the north and south forming ridges and small mesas. Dipping lava ridges (squeeze ups or dykes) are prominent and there is abundant outcrop in valleys lateral to the lava flow. The contact with underlying Ordovician sediments is well exposed in the valley of Deep Creek on the west of Heaghney Hill.
