What is recorded here
Ceann na Faochana is a headland composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its exposure of layered sedimentary rock, which provides insight into ancient shallow tropical sea conditions and contributes to the geological diversity of the western Irish coast.
