 period. This was a bed of silt near the mouth of the Dun River 

 at Cushendun, at low-water level. The silt rested upon boulder-

 to be part of a raised beach, in which case the silt is (in all 

 probability) post- Glacial. The silt yielded a few hazel-nuts, a 

 root doubtfully referred to a species of willow, and a vertebra of 

 a young pig.
