About Pembrokeshire - Geology The surface of Pembrokeshire was scraped clean of vegetation, soil and any remaining marine sediment by advances of the Irish Sea Ice Sheet that occurred on several occasions during the 'Ice Age', pushed southwards by glaciers moving out of the mountains of Scotland, the Lake District, the east coast of Ireland, and North Wales. The geology of Pembrokeshire is special for several reasons including the diversity of rock types to be found in a relatively small area. On a previous advance the Irish Sea Ice Sheet had reached the north coast of Devon and Cornwall and carried the 'Bluestones' (some of which were later used at Stonehenge) from the Preseli Hills to Somerset. www.pembrokeshire-online.co.uk /geology2.htm   (1825 words)
