What is recorded here
Tor Rock is a prominent coastal or hillside rock formation, likely composed of resistant sandstone or gritstone, typical of the Carboniferous period, around 300 to 360 million years old. It is notable for its striking, isolated appearance, possibly formed by differential erosion of surrounding softer rock, creating a tor-like landform common in upland areas.
