The strata shown are about vertical; those which descend to the beach within the limits of the view are coloured sands and clays referred to the Bagshot and Bracklesham Series. The Bracklesham pebble bed, 47 feet from base of the Barton Beds, follows crest of first buttress from the left-hand limit of view.

The dark slopes on right are on London Clay. Chalk and chalky 'head' showing below the white rail-posts on extreme right; skyline of West High Down (Chalk) above.
