What is recorded here
Horn Crag is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340–320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its exposure of sedimentary rock layers that provide insight into ancient tropical sea conditions and is a key feature in understanding the geological history of the Cumberland region.
