(below the 7 of Knowlands Hill on the old one-inch 
Geological Survey-Map, Sheet 44) about half-a-mile south 
of Ilmington: the second is also a disused quarry, and is 
situated near Foxcote House.

As will be observed from the above record, the rock 
is ferruginous, but not sufficiently so to pay for working. 
The total thickness of the Marlstone at Ebrington Hill 
would appear to be about 23 feet." 
At a greater or less distance from the edge of the 
Marlstone platform comes a gentle slope, formed by the 
Upper Lias ; that is followed by the steep scarp composed 
of such Inferior-Oolite rocks as are present on the hill. 
The main portion of the Upper Lias is clay: but 
a small portion at the top is sand—yellow, micaceous, 
and fine-grained. The clay is visible in the sides of 
a pond by the road-side seven-eighths of a mile south-by- 
west of Ilmington Church, and again three-quarters of a 
mile to the west-south-west—also by the road-side. 
Traces of Cotteswold Sand are seen at the latter locality ; 
but a far better exposure is that by the road-side about a 
quarter of a mile east of Little Hidcote. 
No junction of the Upper Lias with the Inferior 
Oolite has been observed ; but—disturbed as the beds are 
on this hill—there is no doubt that they are equivalent to 
the Lower Limestone and Pea-Grit.
