Description :
The aims of this paper are : to examine the role of 2 specific factors which have been implicated in previous studies, namely the presence of artificial drainage ditches and subsurface pipes, in the occurrence of the Cuilcagh peat slide; and to establish whether the entire mass movement could have been initiated by failure of the small slope segment at the head of the Cuilcagh peat slide, as suggested previously on the basis of morphological evidence.
