 Mr Woodward has remarked, " some of the layers [of the

A quarter of a mile south of Chadlington-Down Farm are 

 two quarries (48) in which much the same beds are exposed 

 as in quarry 47. In the western one of the two, about 4 feet 

 of. Chipping-Norton Limestone is exposed, then a marly zone 

 to poorly represent bed c in the preceding section, with a dense 

 white limestone with numerous specks of calcite, which weather 

 in relief (i ft. 6 ins.) to represent bed b of that section ; while 

 on top comes 2 feet of whitish limestone. 



About a mile due west of Chadlington-Down Farm are two 

 quarries. The first (49) is abandoned ; but the second (50) 

 is in work. In it about 18 feet of Chipping-Norton Limestone 

 is exposed, and here and there at the top, and often filling in 

 large fissures, are remains of the same type of Neseran Beds 

 as at Padley's Quarry, pieces of the Placunopsis-Uarl being 

 especially noticeable ; while here and there pieces of marl 

 with oysters — indicative of the Ostrea-Ma.v\ of that section — 

 occur.
