  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.

We are currently looking for financial support to fund further field mapping of the Mourne granites. David Hood is currently seeking funding to purchase a Trimble hand-held state of the art GSP mapping device. Accurate recording of geological information and boundaries straight onto this digital device and thence to an ArcGIS data base.
