What is recorded here
Porth y Gwin is a small bay on the Isle of Anglesey, Wales, characterized by coastal rock formations primarily composed of Silurian greywacke and volcaniclastic rocks. These rocks formed around 440–420 million years ago during the Caledonian orogeny, and the site is notable for its well-exposed cliff sections that provide insights into the region’s complex geological history.
