What is recorded here

Near Teelin in the south west. Sea cliffs rising almost six hundred metres straight out of the Atlantic, nearly three times the height of the Cliffs of Moher and among the highest in Europe. An early Christian pilgrimage site sat up top, and the ridge walk out along it, the One Man's Pass, is not for the faint hearted.
Slieve League is a dramatic sea cliff in the south-west of Ireland, composed mainly of sandstone and shale, formed during the Devonian period around 380 million years ago. The cliffs were shaped by tectonic activity and subsequent erosion by the Atlantic Ocean, and are notable for their immense height, almost 600 metres, and their historical significance as an early Christian pilgrimage site.
