Mr. Weaver on the 
stone becomes interstratified with slate clay, and this latter rock at 
length predominates, alternating with very thin beds of limestone, 
and acquiring a much higher elevation. We now arrive at its 
junction with the red sandstone which lies beneath it, both rocks 
being in perfect conformable position, under an angle of 18° with 
the horizon, and a dip toward the south-west. The point of junc- 
tion is just below the old castle of Homeland, where the sandstone 
is of a fine grain and red cast. More to the north it acquires a 
coarser structure, thick beds of conglomerate being interstratified 
with fine grained red perishable sandstone, and obtaining the 
higher elevation of 24°. These rocks now form a bold coast of 
abrupt precipices, extending to Carnyven headland, which lies east- 
ward of the northern brow of Templetown hill and to the south of 
Bagebon head, (§ 74.) Carnyven head forms the northern termina- 
tion of this body of sandstone, and we perceive it resting uncon- 
formably on the clay slate in the cliffs below, the sandstone dipping 
16° toward the south-west, and the clay slate 75° toward the 
north-east. 
§ 147. We have yet to notice in the county of Wexford a 
few detached portions of the old sandstone. The inner haven at 
Wexford is partly lined by four isolated patches of this rock, lying 
unconformably on clay slate. It is of a deep red colour, and is 
principally composed of fragments of quartz with some few of clay 
slate, cemented by iron-shot quartz. Park Point, on the south side 
of the haven, consists chiefly of this sandstone, arranged in strata 
one to two feet thick, which are sometimes separated by a thin seam 
of red soapy clay; and which dip from 10° to 15° toward the 
south-east. 
At the northern extremity of the inner haven, on the western 
side, is another and smaller patch of red conglomerate, situated to
