An Ceann Dubh

An Ceann Dubh is recorded as a headland in County Kerry. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.

An Ceann Dubh is a basaltic sea cliff formed during the Paleogene period, approximately 60 to 50 million years ago, as a result of volcanic activity associated with the opening of the North Atlantic. It is notable for its dark, columnar basalt formations typical of the Kerry Basalt Province, reflecting ancient lava flows that shaped the region’s dramatic coastal landscape.
