This is a brief analysis on the geology of the Kinsale area in County Cork as studied during the Summer of 1985. Standard Ordnance Survey (1902) maps with a scale of 1:10580 were used as a base, and geological data collected in the field were plotted onto the base map to produce a map containing only geological data. The area mapped extended in the west from Kinsale town and from the town eastwards to and including the eastern side of Oysterhaven.
