The Man of War Gneiss occurs at the southern end of Lizard Point, where it is exposed mainly in off-shore reefs and appears to have intruded the Old Lizard Head Series by lit-par-lit injection of quartz and feldspar. The multiple folding of the gneisses, similar to that of the enclosing rocks, suggests that they are an early, and probably pre-peridotite, intrusion.
