A sedimentary formation beneath the Bray Series is found to have an extensive outcrop in southern Co. Wicklow. Evidence is given of the Pre-Cambrian age of both series. They are exposed in a Caledonian anticlinorium, which has been cut by thrusts and high-angle faults, but they had suffered strong orogenic deformation and prolonged erosion before the unconformable deposition of Lower Palaeozoic strata.
