| Description: | Doulting Quarries, 2 m. E. of Shepton Mallet. Looking W. Quarries in Doulting Freestone, Cheylinch, Doulting. Doulting Freestone is a local development, south of the Mendip Hills, of the upper beds of the Inferior Oolite (truellei hemera). The stone, for centuries, has been used for carving. The amount of overburden (Anabacia Limestones and Rubbly Beds, of Schloenbachi hemera) necessary to be removed before reaching the freestone is well shown. The Doulting Freestone forms the ledge of whitish rock at the base of the quarry. |
