This site contains a significant inland section of Lower Jurassic, Middle Lias strata.

The site has been the centre of research for some time, and particularly its diverse faunas, which have hield some fifty-four species of fossil molluscs.

This contributes significantly to the reconstruction of the geography and the environment of the early Jurassic period.
