What is recorded here
Caoinkeen is a sea cliff located in County Kerry, composed primarily of Silurian-age sedimentary rocks, around 440 to 420 million years old. These rocks were formed through the deposition of marine sediments in a shallow ancient sea, and the cliff is notable for its exposure of folded and faulted strata, reflecting the region's complex tectonic history during the Caledonian orogeny.
