2. The Downton Castle or Yellow Sandstones (see Figs. 2 and 3).— These occur at Lye and Turners Hill, but the best sections are at Saltwells. There the lowest beds are 10 feet of brown yellow and blue soft sandy mudstones (see Fig. 2, Ea), seen resting on the Ludlow Bone-bed, north of the Tram Bridge. Like the same zone at Ludlow, they are practically unfossiliferous.
