Approaching the contact it can be seen that the country rock has been baked, producing a low grade regionally metamorphosed meta-sediment hornfels. Moving closer to the contact dark cordierite spots occur in the hornfels indicating the presence of a metamorphic aureole. At the contact numerous quartz veins occur. The granite intrusion cuts across the folding indicating that the intrusion was emplaced after the main mountain building Variscan Orogeny had folded the mudstone. The photo opposite shows a close up of the intrusive granite.
Flow banding is evident.
The Granite is heavily tourmalinized but coarser than at Roche Rock.
