The Geology of the Country Around Eastbourne - Explanation of Sheet 334 #232124

This formation occupies about a square mile of the area north of Eastbourne, and is also exposed on the foreshore between Eastbourne and Beachy Head. The ledges on the foreshore represent, however, only some 50 feet of the higher beds, the lower de osits north of Splash Point being hid en under the beach. 0 good inland sections are to be seen, though occa sional excavations show Gault at St. Anthony's Hill, Horsey, and Hydneye. Our knowledge of the formation within the East bourne map must, therefore, be derived from the trial-boring at the Waterworks, and from the up er beds exposed on the greatly disturbed foreshore below big -water mark.
