An adjoining pit showed the following section :

A section by Caps Lodge, about 1 miles north-east of Burford, 
is noted by Mr. Tomes : this also shows the position of the Coral- 
bed. He remarks that " The general facies of the corals at

The following section was shown in a quarry at Hensgrove, 
Wychwood Forest :
