What is recorded here

Great Scar is shown as a cliff on the public map of North Yorkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Great Scar is a prominent sea cliff composed mainly of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The cliff is notable for its steep escarpment and exposure of resistant rock layers, which have been shaped by coastal erosion and glacial activity.
