What is recorded here
Craigiau Rhaeadr Fawr is shown as a cliff on the public map of Gwynedd. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Craigiau Rhaeadr Fawr is a sea cliff composed of Silurian-age volcanic and sedimentary rocks, formed around 440 to 420 million years ago through volcanic activity and subsequent deposition in a shallow marine environment. It is notable for its exposure of the Môn Syncline structure, providing important insights into the geological history of north Wales.
