Great Whin Sill

The Great Whin Sill is a large igneous intrusion into the rocks of Northern England. The intrusion is dated at 295 million years ago; the rock is dolerite. Several classic locations of Northern England owe their location to this sill : Hadrian's Wall, Farne Islands, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle.
