Cat Hole Sike
Cat Hole Sike
The shallow streambed that passes beneath Clapdale Drive is called Cat Hole Syke. ("Syke" or "sike" is a colloquial term for a small stream). The steeply dipping Ordovician rocks, some more than 400 million years old, were pushed to the surface by a major disturbance in the earth's crust which caused massive earth movements tilting them to their present angle. This is part of the Craven Fault System LinkExternal link .
