Extract

The existence of a raised beach formed, and probably elevated, before the deposition of the Boulder-clay has already been demonstrated in South Wales and Yorkshire. During the progress of the Drift Survey of the country surrounding Queenstown Harbour, a beach of similar age was observed along the shores of the harbour, and was subsequently traced at intervals along the adjoining coast of Waterford and Cork from Dungarvon to Clonakilty, a distance from east to west of about sixty miles.
