Mourne Geology and Archaeology

The Mourne Geology and Archaeology Group is a small group of academics who have an active interest in the geology, archaeology and upland heritage of the Mourne Mountains, Co. Down, Northern Ireland. We aim to provide quality information about all aspects of the geology of the Mournes to the public through this web site. We have an interest in the conservation of geological and geomorphological sites in Mourne and are very interested in how these are protected. Finally, we have a keen interest in the move towards a National Park in Mourne and possibly a Geopark in the Mournes/Gullion/Cooley area and will be keeping an watchful eye on developments. We hope you enjoy this site and benefit greatly from it.

Inaugural meeting and Field Trip of the Mourne Geology and Archaeology Group – 28th May 2006. 4 Members plus 1 friend spent the day in the Eastern Mournes around Millstone Mountain, Leganabruchan, Glen Fofanny and Bloody Bridge Rivers, and finishing off with a look at some of the dykes containing xenoliths on the coast at Dunmore Head. During this trip it was decided to form the MGAG and proceed in canvassing support.

The constitution of the MGAG will follow on this web site soon.
