What is recorded here
Wharncliffe Crags is a sandstone escarpment formed during the Permian period, around 290–250 million years ago, through the deposition of wind-blown sediments in a desert environment. It is notable for its role in the local landscape and as a source of building stone historically used in the Barnsley area.
