C4059 : Raised beach terraces east of Malin Head

near to Ballyhillin and Slievebane, Donegal, Ireland

Raised beach terraces east of Malin Head

At least two raised beaches, with degraded cliffs behind, are developed here. Isostatic rebound following melting of the ice sheets (think of a ship rising in the water as it is unloaded) has raised them to their present level.
