Andrew About half way between Kilrea and Garvagh on the Ordanance Survey of Northern Ireland 1:50,000 map for Ballymoney Discoverer Series, Is shown a Quary at Craigall Rocks. This is about 4 Kms NW of Kilrea and 5 Kms SE of Garvagh and about half a kms north of the B 64 road between the two. The current map shows some houses near the quarry but no road going to it. Just of the B64 road is a small village Bovady Terrace Cross Roads, so the workers may have lived there as it is only 1 kms from the quarry. I have no idea if it was there in the 1870's. You could google to see if there is any town Council in either town or some history group that may be able to help you. I hope that this will help you in your search.
