Top Limestones, similar to those seen at Upon-Lang Quarry, are 

 "being worked in a quarry (16) near Viney-Bridge Mills, Crewkerne, 

 and again at a quarry (18) near Hinton St. taeorge. Formerly 

 similar beds were worked at Kithill-Lane Quarry (17), while the 

 highest beds of the Inferior Oolite and some overlying Fuller's 

 Earth Were observed by H. B. Woodward at the now abandoned 

 Lye's Brickworks 'south-east of the Brewery at Crewkerne " ] (19). 



Hinton-Park Quarry, H hi ton St. George. — Near the 

 Keeper's Lodge in Hinton Park is a quarry (20) in which Top 

 Limestones — very similar to those seen in the quarry at (IS) — are 

 displayed above massive, rich brown, ferruginous limestones of 

 (jarantiaRCG date that call to mind the Hadspen Stone of the 

 Castle- Gary district. When I first visited the quarry in 1913, 

 the lowest stratum of these Garantiana Beds seen was a hard, 

 ironshot. conglomeratic limestone that yielded the fossils recorded 

 below ; but in 1916 the quarry was not ' in work ' and this bed 

 was not exposed.
