Rook's Cave is a deep faulted cleft in the shoreline crossed by a prominent
Volcanic Air Fall Ash (Tuff) Band of rock - the Rook's Cave Tuff Band .
A Purple and White coloured rock . One of 3 distinct tuff bands found in
South Pembrokeshire .
Further along the Coast Path, just before the Burial Chamber is reached
are 2 other Tuff Bands that have eroded and formed deep gulleys .
The 'Townsend Tuff' band is passed first with the 'Pickard Bay' Tuff band next
( very close to the coast path with Iron Railings for safety)
