What is recorded here
Carreg y Gath is a sea cliff composed of Silurian greywacke, formed around 440–420 million years ago through sedimentation and subsequent lithification in an ancient marine environment. It is notable as part of the broader geological sequence of the Welsh Caledonides, which reflects early Paleozoic tectonic activity.
