Na Cleitean

Named rock

What is recorded here

Na Cleitean is a coastal rock feature located in the Na h-Eileanan Siar archipelago, composed primarily of Lewisian gneiss, some of the oldest rocks in the British Isles, dating back approximately 2.7 to 3 billion years. These rocks formed through high-grade metamorphism of ancient igneous and sedimentary rocks and are notable for their significance in understanding the early geological history of the region.
