ABSTRACT Knight, J., Burningham, H., 2014. A paraglacial coastal gravel structure: Connell's Bank, NW Ireland. In: Green, A.N. and Cooper, J.A.G.

Coastal gravel structures have been well documented worldwide and are formed dominantly by onshore wave transport of gravel, mainly during storm events. They are commonly observed along paraglacial coastlines where their origins are more ambiguous because of the effects of antecedent patterns of sediment supply, glacioisostatic sea-level change, and contemporary coastal processes. This paper describes the properties and polygenic origin of Connell's Bank, a small paraglacial gravel structure on the Atlantic-facing coast of NW Ireland. This feature has been shown on historical maps, air photos and satellite imagery since ca. 1850 but its outline has varied depending on seasonal migration, expansion and co...
