Ice Age Signatures on Scrabo Hill

These remarkable parallel grooves and scratches are glacial striations, carved into the bedrock during the last Ice Age. As a vast glacier flowed across Scrabo Hill, stones and debris trapped within its base acted like giant sheets of sandpaper, grinding and scoring the rock beneath. The resulting marks record the direction of ice movement and have survived for thousands of years on the exposed rock surface.

The smooth, polished appearance of the surrounding rock is also a product of glacial abrasion. Together, these features provide tangible evidence of the powerful ice sheets that once covered County Down, shaping the landscape we see today. Standing beside these marks is a rare opportunity to touch a geological record left by moving ice at the end of the last glaciation.

💙 Just a little reminder from CHILL…
If things are getting too much, please don’t sit with it on your own.
Sometimes we put on a brave face, tell everyone we’re fine and carry on — while inside, we’re struggling.
You don’t have to do that.
Pick up the phone. Talk to someone. Tell a friend. Tell a family member. Or speak to someone who doesn’t even know you.
You don't need to know exactly what to say.
You can simply say “I’m not okay.”
📞 Lifeline NI – 0808 808 8000
Available 24/7
📞 Samaritans – 116 123
Available 24/7
And if you’re worried about someone else, check in with them. Ask twice. Sit with them. Listen. Sometimes just knowing someone cares can mean everything.
💙 You matter. Please don’t give up on yourself.
CHILL is here too — a group of local volunteers who care about our community and want people to feel less alone.
