What is recorded here

The Lumps is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous sandstone, formed around 300–340 million years ago through sedimentary deposition in a shallow marine environment. It is notable for its exposure of durable rock layers that resist coastal erosion, contributing to the rugged landscape of Northumberland's coastline.
