What is recorded here
Ceann Sléibhe is a headland composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the opening of the North Atlantic. It is notable for its columnar jointing, a result of the rapid cooling of lava flows, and its role in the dramatic coastal landscape of southwest Ireland.
