- Natural Heritage Sites in County Clare County Geological Sites Site Name Sheet No. 1:50,000 Grid Ref. Principal Characteristics/Critical Feature(s)/Key Words Townland(s)/District Summary Description Aillwee Hill 51 M 257 048 Plateau karst with a wide variety of landforms. Area of dolines, uvalas, dry valleys, gorges, limestone pavement, springs, sinks, fossil caves. Ballycahill, Lisgoogan, Aillwee, Ballyalaban, Gleninsheen, Glensleade, Berneens, Garracloon, Poulgorm. The densest concentration and best example in Ireland of classic karst features. These features include springs, sinks, fossil cave systems, dry valleys and various enclosed depressions or dolines. A large complex doline or uvala (smaller depressions within a larger enclosing contour) is situated at the summit of Aillwee Hill. This is the largest and most spectacular such diagnostic karst feature in Ireland. Ballycar South 58 R 5645 6410 Silurian (Wenlock) diverse shallow marine shelly fauna within conglomeratic Ballycar Member of the Cratloes Formation. Ballycar South Ballycar South is an important site as the rocks here, which are presently not exposed at the surface, have yielded a very diverse assemblage of brachiopods (more than 200 different species have been identified), corals, gastropods, trilobites and bryozoans of Silurian age. The shelly fauna at this site are critical in the interpretation of the palaeogeography of the region during the Silurian. Ballycroum Hill 58 R 541 886 Devonian sandstones and conglomerates overlying Silurian siltstones. Ballycroum Td., Feakle An excellent unconformity where flat lying conglomerate beds are seen overlying the truncated ends of nearly vertical beds of Silurian slaty rocks. The time gap484

Principal Characteristics/Critical Feature(s)/Key Words Townland(s)/District Summary Description represented is approximately 30 million years. Ballykinnacorra North 57 R 2865 8848 Mushroom rocks - isolated wave worn stones in grazing fields Ballykinnacorra North Thought to have formed when lakes existed for periods long enough for water to dissolve the limestone below the lake level. Emergent limestone above the lake level was not dissolved. This site is one of only about 63 mushroom stones known in the country as a whole. Ballymalone Quarry (AKA Raheen Bridge) 58 R 649 814 Late Ordovician graptolitic shales and cherts Ballymalone The Ballymalone Formation has been dated by graptolite fossils to be of Caradoc age. The site provides the only representative section of these rocks in the north-eastern part of the Slieve Bernagh inlier and complements the Ballyvorgal South site. Ballyvorgal South 58 R 51325 68600 Late Ordovician fossiliferous mudstone of the Ballymalone Formation. Ballyvorgal South, Ballyvorgal Beg and Cloghoolia The Ballyvorgal site is an unusual Irish occurrence of an assemblage of deepwater fossils now found all over the world in rocks of Upper Ordovician age. The fauna has been well described and contains a characteristic mix of very small trilobites and tiny brachiopod shells.485
- Natural Heritage Sites in County Clare Site Name Sheet No. 1:50,000 Grid Ref. Principal Characteristics/Critical Feature(s)/Key Words Townland(s)/District Summary Description Black Head (AKA Ceann Boirne) 51 M 154 122 Coastal cliffs and roadside pavement exposure. Carboniferous (Viséan) corals Murrooghtoohy North Limestone pavement with well-developed karst feature s. A good place to see the transition in Carboniferous corals from Siphonodendron to cerioid Lithostrotion through semi-cerioid forms. The Finavarra Member with dolomite bands, of the Tubber Formation is overlain by the Black Head Member, the basal unit of the Burren Formation. The first cerioid colonial rugose corals occur above the dolomite south of the road. Bridges of Ross 63 Q 733 506 Upper Carboniferous (Namurian) sandstone, siltstone and shale. Rock arches and blowholes. Ross The Ross sandstone Formation consists of turbiditic sheet sandstone, siltstone and thinly bedded black shales. Slumping is common at many horizons throughout the formation, the most spectacular of which, the Ross Slide occurs at the Bridges of Ross. The Ross Slide consists of several metres of siltstone and overlying sandstone displaying a range of deformational features including recumbent folds (folds with horizontal hinge lines). Sand volcanoes are present on the upper surface of the overlying sandstone unit. Also of interest at this site are fold structures which formed during the Variscan Orogeny and a sea bridge486
