What is recorded here
Braich y Pwll is a headland composed primarily of Silurian greywacke and volcanic rocks, formed around 440 to 420 million years ago during the Caledonian orogeny. It is notable for its resistant rock formations that have withstood coastal erosion, contributing to the rugged landscape of the Gwynedd coastline.
