Black Zawn is shown as a cliff on the public map of Dorset. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Black Zawn is a sea cliff composed of Jurassic-age limestone, formed through the accumulation of marine sediments around 150 million years ago. It is notable for its exposure of the Dorset Coast's geological history, which is part of the UNESCO-recognized Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site.
