This site exposes rocks dating to the late [[Precambrian]], around 600 million years ago. The deposits are mainly volcanic ash, thought to have been deposited in the sea from volcanoes on neighbouring islands similar to those now found on the western edge of the [[Pacific Ocean]].<ref name=one/>
The site is private land with no public access. No geology is visible.
