What is recorded here
The Boxing Glove stones are a distinctive coastal rock formation, likely composed of sandstone or gritstone, typical of the Carboniferous period, around 300 to 360 million years old. The feature is notable for its unusual shape, which resembles a pair of boxing gloves, making it a recognisable and possibly locally significant geological landmark.
