What is recorded here
The Scar is shown as a cliff on the public map of Kirklees. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
The Scar is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature composed of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340–320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its exposure of sedimentary rock layers, which provide insight into ancient tropical sea environments and are of interest for geological study in the region.
