Abstract(s)

The Kingscourt Outlier occupies a roughly triangular area on the southern part of the Lower Palaeozoic Longford–Down Massif in eastern Ireland. It comprises a condensed succession of sedimentary rocks that record the onset of fluvio‐deltaic sedimentation across eastern Ireland during Late Viséan to Late Bashkirian (Jackson, 1955, 1965). The outlier forms a syncline structure with an axis orientated approximately north‐south and parallel with the normal Kingscourt Fault that downthrows beds of Carboniferous and Permo‐Triassic age against the Lower Palaeozoic rocks.
