Abstract
A composite tectonic profile, from Clew Bay to central Murrisk is constructed and the sequence of structural events from the Upper Cambrian to post‐Wenlock—pre‐Viséan (C2 S2) times is outlined. Four main structural episodes affected the Dalradian rocks in pre‐Arenig times. ‘Taconic’ thrusting and concentric folding were important, and finally a complex sequence of structures were variably imprinted on the Dalradian, Ordovician and Silurian rocks during post‐Wenlock, pre Viséan (C2 S2) times.
