Dear John,
Bit closer to home and may add to your existing Palaeogene examples, the stretch of coast south of Newcastle, Co Down, NI - where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea - exposes a swarm of Palaeogene dykes in Silurian greywacke. You can check out listed localities at www.habitas.org/escr.
hope this helps
Carl

Subject: Re: Mafic dykes
>_Dear Colleagues,
I am seeking out 100% exposed marine rock platforms where mafic dykes
and their wall structures, and, ideally, relay/transform offsets, and
terminations can be studied. I am seeking places where dykes were
injected laterally away from volcanic centres and places where dykes
were injected vertically beneath volcanic centres. I have visited a
few spots in Arran, Mull, and Skye but I am looking for a lot more.
Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
John
