Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...sand is exposed at Heddon Oak. The gravel patch N. of Heddon Oak consists of purple grit stones with red and whitish sand in places. It is well defined by feature on its western outcrop. The larger gravel patch west of Halsway is probably faulted on the south. Grit gravel and red sand were exposed, and in a sand-pit grey-brown sandstone was seen in, and under, dark red grey-mottled sandy clay. The smaller patch on the west is indicated by gravelly soil. In the valley between Thorncombe House and Newton Farm there is a knoll capped by the gravel. At the bend in the lane near this, at the letter "T" in the word Thorncombe on the map, there is a lenticular strip of the gravel let down by a fault bounding it on the north; this was considered too small to show on the map. The two gravel outliers between Newton Farm and Chilcombe make well-defined features, with grit gravel soils. Williton District.--The railway cuttings near Newton Farm are separated by a depression marking a fault; on the south of this 15 feet of rubbly conglomerate, mainly composed of well-worn and subangular grit stones of various sizes, is faulted against Lower Marls on the south, and overlain by 15 feet of massive even-bedded red brecciated sandstone with occasional buff patches. The northern cutting displays red sandstone and sand-rock mottled with white and greenish patches on even-bedded sandstones overlying conglomerate with largo grit pebbles in a subangular gravelly matrix of small grit and quartz stones. At Yellow the Conglomerate contains limestone pebbles, and is exposed in a quarry, in the southernmost part of which its faulted junction with the Lower New Red breccio-conglomerate was concealed by talus. A quarry by the road in the faulted strip of conglomerate north of V...
