What is recorded here
Cakes of Bread is a local coastal rock feature near Sheffield, likely composed of Millstone Grit, a Carboniferous sandstone formed around 315–325 million years ago through sedimentation in ancient delta systems. The feature is notable for its distinctive, rounded boulder-like appearance, which may have been shaped by glacial activity or river erosion during the last Ice Age.
