Wicklow - County Geological Site Report
WICKLOW - COUNTY GEOLOGICAL SITE REPORT NAME OF SITE Glendalough Valley Other names used for site Gleann Dá Loch (glen of the two lakes), Van Diemen’s Land (mining locality at head of valley) IGH THEME IGH7 Quaternary, IGH 14 Fluvial and Lacustrine Geomorphology, IGH15 Economic Geology TOWNLAND(S) Sevenchurches, Lugduff, Derrybawn, Brockagh NEAREST TOWN/VILLAGE Laragh SIX INCH MAP NUMBER 23 NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE 709154E 696318N (centre of valley) 1:50,000 O.S. SHEET NUMBER 56 GSI Bedrock 1:100,000 Sheet No. 16 Outline Site Description The Glendalough Valley is a deep glacial valley in the central Wicklow Mountains. The mine site within it sits at the head of the Upper Lake, where siltation has led to development of a wetland. ‘Van Diemen’s’ Land is an isolated mine site further up the valley, on high ground. Geological System/Age and Primary Rock Type The bedrock is Lugnaquillia Granodiorite, part of the Lugnaquillia Pluton which is one of the five plutons that comprise the late-Caledonian (405 Ma) Leinster Granite batholith. The granite is cut by slightly younger quartz veins containing lead and zinc mineralization. The contact between the granite and schists of the Lower Palaeozoic Maulin Formation runs through the site immediately east of the mine area. The valley itself and the glacial features within it date from the last Ice Age. Main Geological or Geomorphological Interest Glendalough is a marvellous example of a glaciated U-shaped valley, with oversteepened cliff sides and a flat floor. At the mouth of the glen where it meets Glendasan is a delta, which formed at the end of the last Ice Age in a lake that reached a higher level than either of the present lakes. -
