What is recorded here
Black Rocks is a coastal rock feature in County Mayo, composed primarily of basalt, formed during volcanic activity in the late Carboniferous to early Permian period, around 300 to 320 million years ago. The dark, columnar basalt is notable for its distinctive appearance and is part of the broader geological formation associated with ancient lava flows in western Ireland.
