Most of the rocks around here are various sandstones and shales but the bed of Dungarvan Bay is carboniferous limestone and it’s one of my favourite seaside rocks.
It’s a lovely warm soft grey often dotted with loads of little crinoid fossils. It gets carved into wonderful flowing waves by the sea.
You can find these outcrops around the bay, often combined with the more purple coloured shale layer that formed after it as seen here.
On this day in 1760, Mary Corban Shaughhanacy died aged 27. See this and other gravestone inscriptions from Dunhill, Co. Waterford, in the Journals: https://tinyurl.com/shau1760

In 1903, #Waterford hosted #Ireland's first St. Patrick’s Day parade. While the tradition began in the #US, this milestone helped turn the feast day into a public cultural festival at home. The day became an official public holiday that same year. Read more about the history of our national day on Vicipéid.
