What is recorded here

Powder Hole is shown as a bay on the public map of Redcar and Cleveland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Powder Hole is a coastal rock feature formed from Carboniferous-age limestone, approximately 300 million years old, shaped by differential erosion and wave action. It is notable for its distinctive hollow or "hole" formed by persistent marine erosion, a common feature in areas with jointed or fractured limestone.
