To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is in this way that the curious depression which extends from Combe Paflford to the Eace Course by Petitor Road has been developed. No such depression could have existed when the natural system of drainage was first established, for if such a tract of low ground had been in existence when the Lummaton and Park Hill limestones formed one continuous mass, the Watcombe brook would certainly have run along it and would have entered the sea at Oddicombe Beach. The fact that it does not do so is p...roof that this depression is of much later date than the origination of the Barton and Watcombe valleys. Returning to the valley of the united Barton and Watcombe brooks it will be understood that when the stream began to trench the limestone it did so on its summit level, and did not find its way through any natural crack or rift on the site of the present valley west of Marychurch. It should be noticed, however, that in this section of the valley the opposing slopes present very difTerent features ; the western side being steep, rocky, and in places almost precipitous, while on the eastern side there are gentle irregular slopes as far south as Blacks Hill.
