averaging 1 ft. 6 in. x1 ft. 4 in., and 10 whinstones and 4 sandstones, 
averaging I ft. 2 in. x 1 ft. 10 in., principally subangular. 
The whole of these boulders have been removed to their present 
positions from the coast in the immediate vicinity, and will be used as 
backing for the new wooden breakwater in construction by Mr. Martin 
at the south part of Filey. The boulder clay here is of great thickness, 
and the small stream has cut its way through it, forming this ravine. 
The absence of granite boulders is accounted for, after inquiry, by their 
selection for the ornamentation of gardens.
