Just curious -- does anyone here know of an explanation for certain
features on the wave-cut platform at Staithes in North Yorkshire?
[...]

Look at this page
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~imw/staithes.htm

Thanks for an interesting site and some great pictures (though nothing
on the archaeology sadly).

Only traces of iron-stone mining.

Staithes is, incidentally, a fascinating
place that I can well recommend -- in the river there were (IIRC) some
Bronze-age timbers found relatively recently and there are some very
impressive fossils...

But the pictures show nothing like the features you saw?
Looking at some of them it must not always be easy to
make out the difference between natural and man-made.
