Conglomerates from the Lettergesh Formation in the Silurian sequence of N Galway, Ireland, demonstrate palaeocurrents from the NE. Fabric studies demonstrate that the conglomerates were emplaced largely by traction currents and not by down-slope sliding or dispersive currents. Stratigraphic relationships demonstrate that the conglomerates were deposited in an environment which was adjacent to fluviatile, shallow-marine and deeper shelf facies at different times. A fan-delta environment of deposition is suggested, which requires a modification of previous Silurian sea-level curves at, or near, the base of the Wenlock.
