simultaneously tipped out of some huge vessel, and so left; 
but surrounding each stone there is a matrix of clay marl, 
generally forming a compact matrix, hut not necessarily 
uniformly so. The sections of quarries on the south and 
west sides are all similar, except that this deposit of stones 
varies in thickness from three or four feet to eighteen or 
twenty feet. 
These south and west sections being sometimes widely 
separated, and all being similar in general features, it is only 
fair to assume that the intermediate spaces between the 
quarries would exhibit the same general character. 
It is from this bed that the stones forming our dry stone 
walls have been derived for, perhaps, centuries, the stones as 
they work up to the surface being removed by the agriculturist 
from time to time.
