The Rockall Trough (Scottish Gaelic: Clais Sgeir Rocail) is a deep-water bathymetric feature to the northwest of Scotland and Ireland, running roughly from southwest to northeast, flanked on the north by the Rockall Plateau and to the south by the Porcupine Seabight. At the northern end, the channel is bounded by the Wyville-Thomson Ridge, named after Charles Wyville Thomson, professor of zoology at the University of Edinburgh and driving force behind the Challenger Expedition. At the southern end, the trough opens into the Porcupine abyssal plain. The Rockall Basin (also known as the Hatton Rockall Basin) is a large (c. 800 km by 150 km) sedimentary basin that lies beneath the trough. Both are named after Rockall, a rocky islet lying 301.4 km west of St Kilda.

Der Trog ist nach dem Rockall-Plateau benannt, das seine westliche Grenze bildet und das wiederum nach dem Felsen Rockall benannt ist. Im Nordosten endet er am Wyville-Thomson-Rücken auf etwa 1000 Meter Tiefe, im Südwesten geht er bei etwa 4000 Meter Tiefe in das tiefe Atlantikbecken über. (de)

  • Le fossé de Rockall ou bassin de Rockall est un grand (environ 800 km par 150 km) bassin sédimentaire qui s'étend à l'ouest de l'Irlande et de la Grande-Bretagne sous la zone en eau profonde majeure connue comme la Fosse de Rockall. Il est nommé d'après l'îlot rocheux de Rockall situé à 301,4 km à l'ouest de Saint-Kilda (Écosse). D'orientation nord-est - sud-ouest, il est limité au nord-ouest par le plateau de Rockall qui prolonge l'îlot du même nom, et au sud par le banc de Porcupine. * Portail de la géologie (fr)
