Wee Binnian

Cliff

Why this matters

Wee Binnian is a sea cliff located in County Down, composed primarily of basalt formed during the Palaeogene period, approximately 60 to 55 million years ago. The cliff is notable for its association with the broader basaltic formations of the Antrim Plateau, resulting from ancient volcanic activity linked to the opening of the North Atlantic.
