This feature at Rhossili (Wales) is not a raised beach, although it resembles one. It is in fact a solifluction terrace produced by slope processes during the last Ice Age - the Devensian - when the climate was periglacial and sea level was much lower. It is now being eroded back by rising Holocene sea levels, so it is - indirectly - connected with varying sea and land levels, but is not a raised beach. ..
