What is recorded here

An Plaosc is a headland composed primarily of Silurian-age basalt, formed through ancient volcanic activity around 440 to 420 million years ago. It is notable for its resistant rock formations that have withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the dramatic sea cliffs characteristic of western Ireland’s coastline.
