What is recorded here
Botallack Head is a coastal headland in Cornwall composed mainly of Cornish granite, formed during the late Carboniferous to early Permian periods, around 290–310 million years ago. The granite intruded into older sedimentary rocks and is notable for its association with historic tin and copper mining activities in the area.
