SHEET NUMBER 56 GSI BEDROCK 1:100,000 SHEET NO. 16 Outline Site Description A stretch of the River Dargle meandering from a wide and flat valley into cascades in a deep, steep-sided rocky gorge. Geological System/Age and Primary Rock Type The River Dargle gorge is a Quaternary feature, formed during deglaciation towards the end of the last glaciation (after 22,000 years ago). The river course flows over glaciofluvial drift, underlain by Ordovician slates (from Tinnehinch Bridge to gorge) into a rocky gorge cut into Cambrian quartzite and greywacke bedrock (from the gorge to Dargle Bridge near the N11). Main Geological or Geomorphological Interest The River Dargle gorge is one of several spectacular subglacial meltwater channels cut into solid bedrock in north Wicklow (see also Glen of the Downs, the Scalp, Glencullen River). This deeply incised landscape feature was formed when high pressure waters, flowing at the base of the overlying ice sheet, cut into and eroded solid bedrock. The gorge is up to 60m deep below Lovers Leap. The Dargle River rises in granite uplands between War Hill (686m) and Tonduff North (642m) and flows 3km eastwards to Powerscourt Waterfall (120m high), where it descends to the floor of a wide and flat valley (between Maulin and Great Sugar Loaf).

SHEET NUMBER 56 GSI BEDROCK 1:100,000 SHEET NO. 16 Outline Site Description A prominent, scree covered, quartzite conical mountain peak standing out on the north Wicklow and Dublin skyline. Geological System/Age and Primary Rock Type Cambrian quartzite (Bray Head Formation) bedrock with greywacke/quartzite bedrock on the south/southwest slopes. The scree deposits (of quartzite) are Quaternary in age, having formed from freeze-thaw activity during the last glaciation. Main Geological or Geomorphological Interest Great Sugar Loaf (501m) is a prominent conical peak of pale-pink Cambrian quartzite, around 7km southwest of Bray. The conical shape contrasts with the rounded summits of the granite mountains to the west. The elevated terrain comprising Great Sugar Loaf, Little Sugar Loaf and Bray Head marks the northern margin of a tectonic slide (roughly along the course of the River Dargle) where Cambrian rocks were thrust up onto Ordovician rocks (found between Bray Head and Killiney Hill and southwest beyond Rathdrum). This NW directed thrusting occurred during a great mountain building event (Caledonian Orogeny), 475-400 million years ago, also during which the Late Caledonian Leinster granites were formed. Great Sugar Loaf and Little Sugar Loaf (341m), 3km to the northeast, are separated by Kilmacanoge valley.
