AGE OF ROCKS: Ordovician to Carboniferous Boyle Abbey This Cistercian Abbey was built between 1160 and 1220 of local stone: pale grey limestone and yellow sandstone, both of Carboniferous age 2 COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND: Roscommon Geological Map of County Roscommon Pink:Pink:Pink: Ordovician; Green:Green:Green: Silurian; Beige:Beige:Beige: Devonian sandstones and conglomerates; Dark blue: Lower Carboniferous sandstones; Light blue: Lower Carboniferous limestone; Brown:Brown:Brown: Upper Carboniferous shaales. Geological history The oldest rocks in Roscommon occur in two inliers (older rocks entirely surrounded by younger rocks) north-east of Strokestown and at Slieve Bawn. These rocks are of Ordovician age and are the remnants of a former ocean floor and the roots of a long since vanished mountain chain. They are related to rocks throughout Longford, Down, and into the Southern Uplands of Scotland, but as they are so small in Roscommon, their story is best told in the other county’s leaflets. Surrounding them are some Devonian age rocks, sandstones and gravels laid down by flash floods in a poorly vegetated environment. Both Ordovician rocks and Devonian rocks are partly preserved because they have been lifted up on one side of the Strokestown Fault, which is one of the major geological structures in the county. Roscommon’s main geological history is in the Carboniferous period. Nearly all the county has limestone near the surface, which was deposited in Roscommon: COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND 3 a shallow tropical sea covering much of Ireland around 330 million years ago.

  • Chapter 2: Settlement Policy and Development Strategy
    Chapter 2: Settlement Policy and Development Strategy 2.1 CONTEXT FOR SETTLEMENT POLICY AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY Settlement policy broadly guides where new development will occur in the county and is a fundamental component of spatial planning. The National Spatial Strategy (NSS) sets a national framework for spatial planning into which all other spatial plans must fit. Regional Planning Guidelines were prepared in order to implement the NSS at regional level. The ministerial guidelines on Sustainable Rural Housing are concerned with the issue of rural housing which comes within the ambit of settlement policy. The need to carry out Strategic Environmental Assessment and the implications of the Water Framework Directive, provides for an environmental critique of the process as well as the settlement strategy. All of these form part of the new framework for the County Development Plan. The plan must ‘in so far as is practicable’ be consistent with the following policy documents: the NSS; the Regional Planning Guidelines for the West; and, the statutory guidelines on Sustainable Rural Housing, to name but a few. 2.2 VISION AND STRATEGIC GOALS The Vision for County Roscommon as defined in the Roscommon County Development Board Strategy: Roscommon Common Vision, is as follows: “Roscommon will be a vibrant county with an increased population, an enhanced quality of life, employment growth, high quality infrastructure and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. The county will also have a safe, clean environment, a variety of recreational activities and excellent health and educational facilities, providing equal opportunities for all.” (Roscommon County Development Board, 2002: 1) The Main Strategic Aims of the County Development Plan are to: • Plan for and support the sustainable development of Roscommon as an integrated network of vibrant socially and economically successful settlements, supporting and contributing to the economic development of the County, of its neighbouring authorities and of the Region.
