What is recorded here
Keel Head is a coastal headland composed primarily of Carboniferous sandstone, formed around 300 to 340 million years ago through sedimentary deposition in ancient river and delta systems. It is notable for its resistant rock formations that have withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the dramatic landscape of Northumberland's coastline.
