This complex forms a 10 km long 600 m high ridge formed of a series of overlapping intrusions. A contact aureole extends for 200 m into the country rock foliated granodiorite. The principal rock types are peralkaline syenites but trachyte, monzonite and microgranite are also present. Most rock types include sodic pyroxene and the intrusions become progressively richer in amphibole and quartz westwards, the final syenite being an amphibole-biotite-quartz syenite with minor aegirine. Cutting the youngest syenite and a small microgranite at the western end of the complex is a plug of trachyte breccia and feldspar porphyritic trachyte.
