VOL, XVI. (2) THE GEOLOGY OF EBRINGTON HILL T31 
Before referring to the work accomplished by others, 
I will record my own observations. 
There are three quarries in work on the hill at 
the present time. Two are situated half-a-mile east of 
Little Hidcote, and are spoken of as the “ Ebrington-Hill 
Quarries”; while the third is slightly under half-a-mile 
away, in a direction south-east-by-east on Ilmington 
Downs. 
In the first quarry, the northern one of the two at 
the top of the hill east of Little Hidcote, is the section 
depicted in fig. I.
