  • Wicklow - County Geological Site Report
    WICKLOW - COUNTY GEOLOGICAL SITE REPORT NAME OF SITE Lough Bray Other names used for site IGH THEME IGH7 Quaternary TOWNLAND(S) Powerscourt NEAREST TOWN/VILLAGE Glencree, Enniskerry SIX INCH MAP NUMBER 6 NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE 713405E 715950N (arête between corries) 1:50,000 O.S. SHEET NUMBER 56 GSI Bedrock 1:100,000 Sheet No. 16 Outline Site Description The Lough Bray site consists of two lakes; Lough Bray Upper and Lough Bray Lower, which occupy two of the most accessible corries in Ireland, 2 kilometres south of Glencree Village and just off the Military Road. Geological System/Age and Primary Rock Type The features were formed during the Quaternary (Ice Age), by glacier ice scouring out two deep, armchair-shaped hollows at the northeastern edge of the Wicklow Mountains. The majority of the features therefore comprise ice-scoured bedrock, which is coarse-grained granite. The granite is part of the Lugnaquillia Pluton which is one of the five plutons that comprise the late-Caledonian (405 Ma) Leinster Granite batholith. Main Geological or Geomorphological Interest These corries have almost-vertical backwalls up to 200m in height. Two tarns (glacial lakes) floor the features and the corries and lakes are bounded on their eastern sides by a series of impressive moraines. These have been dissected by Holocene (post-glacial) streams draining the lakes. The moraines comprise well-drained, bouldery material, and the area around and east of Lough Bray is littered with large erratic boulders up to 10m across. Many of these erratics weigh several hundred tonnes and bear testament to the power of the ice sheet which transported them.

  • Robb Report Luggala
    Journeys: Artists' Residence April 01, 2006 The Mercedes has bottomed out. More speed might have propelled the vehicle over the hill on this rolling Irish cart road, but the undercarriage now sits squarely on top of a grassy protuberance, while the wheels spin frantically in the air. The driver, Garech Browne, squire of the land, member of the Guinness family, writer, champion and guardian of Irish lore and poetry, founder of Claddagh Records, and friend and host to Bono and Nelson Mandela, is completely nonplussed as he exits the vehicle to survey the situation. A dandy of note, the 66-year-old Browne is dressed in a perfectly fitted beige three-piece wool suit. His ponytail and long white beard remain untussled in the stiff wind of this gray October morning in County Wicklow. Top photo: The home of a record company founder, Luggala is furnished with a variety of musical instruments, including Bottom photo: this Irish harp. Bottom photograph by Alen Macweeney. (Click images to enlarge) While Browne assesses the damage, I take in the view of the landscape from my perch upon the car’s boot. Some 20,000 years ago, the glaciers slid through here and carved out a broad valley that runs from north to south. The steep granite cliffs of a mountain called the Fancy rise to the west of our location in the valley. It takes its name from the Irish word foinse, which means source, a reference to the beginning of the river Cloghoge, whose waters run through the valley. The river feeds into Lough Tay, which, according to legend, is bottomless, its depths reaching to the kingdom of the leprechauns.

  • List of Irish Mountain Passes
    List of Irish Mountain Passes The following document is a list of mountain passes and similar features extracted from the gazetteer, Irish Landscape Names. Please consult the full document (also available at Mountain Views) for the abbreviations of sources, symbols and conventions adopted. The list was compiled during the month of June 2020 and comprises more than eighty Irish passes and cols, including both vehicular passes and pedestrian saddles. There were thousands of features that could have been included, but since I intended this as part of a gazetteer of place-names in the Irish mountain landscape, I had to be selective and decided to focus on those which have names and are of importance to walkers, either as a starting point for a route or as a way of accessing summits. Some heights are approximate due to the lack of a spot height on maps. Certain features have not been categorised as passes, such as Barnesmore Gap, Doo Lough Pass and Ballaghaneary because they did not fulfil geographical criteria for various reasons which are explained under the entry for the individual feature. They have, however, been included in the list as important features in the mountain landscape.
