Learning continues today - the rock is Black Limestone (not Basalt) when eroded by the sea it can look like Basalt, it's a hard rock (not as hard as Basalt) but as it's limestone is open to the Piddock Acid Pee method of home construction (like something out of Aliens, but with a lower body count and a des res as the outcome).

If it had been Basalt it wouldn't have been a Piddock hole (too hard, not open to acid attack).
