What is recorded here

Yew Cogar Scar is shown as a cliff on the public map of North Yorkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Yew Cogar Scar is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The scar is notable for its exposure of resistant limestone strata, which have been shaped by coastal erosion and glacial activity, providing insight into the geological history of the North Yorkshire coast.
