Going northward along the coast road from Larne and at 
about two miles past Ballygally in the townland of Bally- 
rudder, abutting against the cliffs we have the remains of 
another raised beach. It is stratified, with evidences of 
current bedding, the lower portion being of sand and small 
pebbles 12 to 15 feet thick, with here and there a little 
patch of clay, over this lies a ^stratum of larger water- worn 
stones or gravel. Many of the shells are in a fragmentary 
condition and are not now found plentifully. This deposit 
is about 15 to 20 feet above high water. 
The shells seem to bear a more arctic type than those 
found at Larne and the absence of Patellae may be noticed • 
probably the rocks here do not form a suitable habitat for 
them.
