Extract

From the point K northward to the stile leading to the road on to the Towan Head the killas comes to the top, but just short of the stile there is a section of another hill-wash-dune showing about 5 feet, but not exposing the base. Land shells are abundant towards the top, especially at 1 ft. 3 in. and 2 feet from the surface, but the lower portion contains very few. The Helix nemoralis zone lies just below. This section yielded the flint flake found by Mr. Warren.
