What is recorded here
A reusable public picture page identifies this place as Cliffs on Ros Guill. This entry is kept separately because no one government record could be safely joined to that public name and point.
Cliffs on Ros Guill are composed primarily of basalt, formed during volcanic activity in the Paleogene period, around 60 to 55 million years ago. The cliffs are notable for their columnar jointing, a result of the rapid cooling of lava flows, and represent part of the broader basaltic formations associated with the North Atlantic Igneous Province.
The public picture does not grant access. Check the route and ask before entering private land.
