What is recorded here

Craig y Forwyn is a sea cliff in Denbighshire, composed primarily of Silurian greywacke and slate, formed around 440 to 420 million years ago through sedimentation and subsequent regional metamorphism. The cliff is notable for its exposure of ancient volcanic and sedimentary rocks that provide insights into the geological history of the Welsh Borderland.
