What is recorded here
Hook Point / Pointe an Duáin is a coastal headland composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the opening of the North Atlantic. It is notable for its columnar jointing, a result of the rapid cooling of lava flows, and for its role as a prominent geographical feature along the rugged Donegal coast.
