Extract

Balbriggan is a village in County Dublin, some nineteen miles north of Dublin, and along the coast in its neighbourhood Ordovician and Silurian rocks are exposed for a distance of about five miles. These are described in the Irish Survey Memoirs, but from a recent investigation of the locality it seems desirable to give a fresh account of its geology.
