Extract

During the second half of the nineteenth century, when the district was mapped by the Geological Survey, the acid rocks (rhyolites) near Antrim town at Tardree Cottage, Scolboa, and Sandy Braes were regarded as older than both basalt sets, the lower and the upper basalts of Co. Antrim (1).
