Old Head of Kinsale : ウィキペディア英語版 | Old Head of Kinsale
The Old Head of Kinsale (in Irish, ''An Seancheann'') is a headland near Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland. An early lighthouse was established here in the 17th century by Robert Reading. The area was the nearest land point (11 miles/18 km) from where the RMS ''Lusitania'' was sunk in 1915. Today the Old Head of Kinsale is popular with golfers who come to play on its 18 Hole golf course that opened in 1997. ==Geographical Information==
The old head of Kinsale was formed by differential erosion. An outcrop of hard sandstone is lodged between two layers of shale. The shale is eroded by marine action at a faster rate than the sandstone. The sandstone anticlines were much more resistant to erosion than the slate filled synclines. Thus over time the headland was formed.
