What is recorded here

Quigley's Point is a headland in County Donegal composed primarily of Silurian-age sandstone and shale, formed around 440 to 420 million years ago through sedimentary deposition in a shallow marine environment. It is notable for its resistant rock formations that have withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the dramatic sea cliffs characteristic of the northwest Irish coast.
