Description: | Arkleton Hill from the west-south-west. The lower part of the scarp in the right half of the photograph is formed by Upper Old Red Sandstone sediments while the Birrenswark Lavas form a line of crags which can be traced along this part of the scarp. The country from the foreground to the base of the scarp is underlain mainly by Silurian rocks. The upper part of the scarp here is composed of Whita Sandstone. Just below the skyline, left of centre, the Whita Sandstone crags in Black Cove can be seen. The base of the Birrenswark Lavas can be taken as the base of the Carboniferous. |
