Bay and headland
Bay and headland
The beautiful little bay small bay to the west of Iar Phoirt, looking towards the drumlinoid ridge that marks the end of Cuan Bhaile Conraoi (Kingstown Bay). A drumlinoid ridge is shaped like a drumlin, but instead of being formed by material accumulating beneath the ice-sheet, it is formed by erosion of the rock surface. In this area there are many drumlinoid features, and close inspection is required. The long fingers of the sea reflect the east-west strike of the various beds of rock and the faulted structures between them.
