What is recorded here
West Tor is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature located in County Down, formed primarily of basaltic rock from the Palaeogene period, around 60 to 55 million years old. It is notable as part of the broader geological formation associated with the Antrim basalt plateau, shaped by ancient volcanic activity and subsequent coastal erosion.
