What is recorded here
Gait Kirk is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The cliff is notable for its exposure of sedimentary rock layers, which provide insight into the geological history of the Cumberland region.
