What is recorded here
Swarth Fell is shown as a cliff on the public map of Westmorland and Furness. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Swarth Fell is a sea cliff composed primarily of Ordovician slate, formed through the metamorphism of accumulated marine sediments under heat and pressure around 470 to 440 million years ago. It is notable for its exposure of ancient rock formations that provide insight into the geological history of the English Lake District region.
