264 THE STONES OF STANTON DREW : 



this rock was brought, itw j>eculiar and local cliavactor 

 enables us to say, with tolerable certainty, that it was 

 obtained either from the neighbourhood of Harptree under 

 Mondip or from Leigh Down, on the eastern skirt of Inroad- 

 field Down, or perhaps from both these localities. 



I feel very little doubt that all tlie stones of the North- 

 east Circle (Circle of Eight) are from the Harptree neigh- 

 bourhood. The stones which seem to me to be from Leigh 

 Down, near Winford, are indicated in the paper I have 

 referred to. 



'2. Bolomitic, JJreccia. — Unless wo are to go yet further 

 afield, this rock, too, was obtained either from the skirts of 

 Broadfield Down or from the Mondip margin. As bei'oro 

 mentioned, flat slabs, similar to those in the Cove, are found 

 near Rudd and on Green Down. I5\it I do not thirdc we are 

 restricted to these localities. 



3. The Limestone. — For some time I was doubtful about 

 the source of the stones composed of this rock. It is very 

 difficult to determine from a weathered surface, and I have 

 not felt justified in chipping any of the stones. From the 

 occurrence of an Echinoid in one of the stones of the Lower 

 Tyning, the weathered surface of which resembles that of the 

 other limestone monoliths, I am now disposed to refer them 

 to the Inferior Oolite of Dundry. 



4. The Goarser Sandstone. — As to the exact locality 

 whence these stones were obtained, I am not at present 

 prepared to offer an opinion. I am inclined to regard 

 them as Palaeozoic ; but even of this I would not speak 

 too positively. 



5. The Fine-Orained Sandstone. — Of the source, geological 

 and local, of this rock I am doubtful. 



It is possible that one or more of the Sandstone monoliths 

 may be Sarsen — but whence ?
