The structure of magma plumbing systems controls the distribution of volcanism, thereby influencing continental break-up and passive margin evolution. However, delimiting the structure of entire plumbing systems is difficult because: (I) intrusion networks cannot be directly accessed at active volcanoes; (2) field outcrops are limited by exposure; and (3) the resolution o f geophysical data imaging the sub-surface is restricted. A s a result, models involving the vettical transfer o f magma in dikes, which extend fi·om a melt source to overlying reservoirs and eruption sites, dominate the volcanic literature. Whilst there is evidence supporting the existence ofvertically stacked plumbing systems, we compile a
