What is recorded here
Saddle Head is recorded as a headland in County Mayo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Saddle Head is a coastal headland composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its distinctive saddle-shaped promontory, which reflects both the underlying geology and the effects of differential erosion by wave action over millennia.
