These conglomerates are probably all or in the
main of cliff origin. To the sea was being delivered
such quantities of sharp sand and gritty pebbles as
these made good grinding material to undermine the
cliffs. The sandstone and limestones as they fell into
the sea were more or less rounded and angularful
in the pure sand stones of Lillery times.
I saw no sandstone boulders larger than 4ft
square across, and the limestone boulders very rarely are more
than 3 feet thick. Probably the vast majority of boulders are
under one foot in diameter and cut are fairly well rounded,
gives the idea that the pieces are out of their bedded
formations as the boulders are not flat ones.
