A radiocarbon dated pollen diagram is presented from 430 m altitude on Slieve Gallion, Co. Tyrone, N. Ireland. Deposits of reedswamp peat overlain by blanket peat cover the period from about 8000 B.C. to the present. Total tree pollen remains mostly below 60% of total pollen throughout the Post-glacial indicating more open conditions than are found in the lowlands. Lack of herb pollen suggests areas of bare rock on the mountain top before about 7650 B.C. (auth)
