Service Description: “Aggregates” is the term geologists use to describe rocks used for building and construction purposes. Aggregate Potential Mapping aims to identify areas where aggregate is most likely to be found.
This map shows the final lithology scores used to create the crushed rock aggregate potential across Ireland. Final lithology refers to the combination of primary rock types and secondary and minor rock types and textures.
To produce this map, scores from 1 to 10 were given to each area.
This map shows the scores sorted into five different ranges:
Very High potential (≤ 10) - red
High potential (≤ 6.7) - orange
Moderate Potential (≤ 5.3) - yellow
Low Potential (≤ 4.3) - green
Very Low Potential (≤ 3) - blue
This map is to the scale 1:100,000. This means it should be viewed at that scale. When printed at that scale 1cm on the map relates to a distance of 1km.
It is a vector dataset. Vector data portray the world using points, lines, and polygons (areas). The data is shown as polygons. Each polygon holds information on the county it is located, the bedrock 100k sheet number, rock unit name, rock unit code, rock unit description, geographic viability, primary rock type, secondary rock type,deleterious substances, quarries, scores and the area in m2.
Please read the metadata lineage for further information.

Subject: “Aggregates” is the term geologists use to describe rocks used for building and construction purposes. They are used in today’s world for building our roads, schools, hospitals and houses.
Hard rocks can be crushed to make material for foundations and to fill in spaces. Naturally occurring sands and gravels are used for making concrete and concrete products such as building blocks.
It is very important that we know where these rocks occur so that they can be used for any new projects. The aggregate potential maps show where it might be possible to find suitable rocks for building purposes.
The map should be of interest to the building and road construction sectors, and planning authorities at local and regional level.
