Abstract: This paper presents the results of an oligochaete survey on an exposed rocky shore at Carnsore Point, Co. Wexford. Three species of Tubificidae and nine species of Enchytraeidae were recorded from a variety of habitats. Six enchytraeids and one tubificid were species new to science. Species zonation is discussed.
