The occurrence of marine shells in the Glacial deposits of Co. Wicklow was for a long time naturally regarded as evidence of submergence beneath the sea. The striations, however, that are found on the rock-floor show that ice sheets traversed the whole country, and the uplift of materials from lower to higher layers of moving ice may now be regarded as well established. Much of our knowledge of tin-history of East Leinster in Glacial times is due to the pioneer-observer Maxwell H. ... Read More
