What is recorded here

Greenside Crag is shown as a cliff on the public map of Westmorland and Furness. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Greenside Crag 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 exposure of fossil-rich rock layers, which provide evidence of ancient reef environments and support local geological studies.
