✦ Synopsis

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‐Wenlockβ€”pre‐VisΓ©an (C~2~ S~2~) times is outlined. Four main structural episodes affected the Dalradian rocks in pre‐Arenig times. β€˜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 VisΓ©an (C~2~ S~2~) times.

## Abstract The western Ireland Ordovician stratigraphy has been previously used to constrain the timing of docking of an island arc and its fore‐arc basin with the margin of Laurentia for the British and Irish Caledonides. New field relationships and age data indicate that one of the key formation
