What is recorded here
Carn Barra is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in Cornwall, composed primarily of Devonian slate. These rocks formed around 380 million years ago through the metamorphism of deposited mud and silt in a deep marine environment, and are notable for their role in the region’s rugged coastal geology and their association with the Cornubian Orogeny.
