What is recorded here
Esk Buttress is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its dramatic coastal exposure, which reveals layered rock formations and provides insight into the geological history of the Cumberland region.
