What is recorded here
Box Bay is shown as a cliff on the public map of Bridgend. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Box Bay consists of Carboniferous limestone, approximately 300 million years old, formed from marine sediments in a shallow tropical sea. The cliff is notable for its well-exposed stratification and fossil content, typical of the South Wales Coalfield region.
