Abstract A tight early fold, the Ballybofey anticline, trends south‐eastwards across central Donegal. South‐west of its axial trace the Dalradian strata are inverted so that the rocks high in the Series occur at the lowest structural level, next to, and facing downwards, the supposedly Moinian psammites in the core of the Lough Derg antiform. Rapid facies changes occur in the Dalradian rocks across the Caledonian strike.
