A site about 3 km N of Reaphook Hill (location approximate), where quartz geodes have been collected, mostly in the 1980s. They are up to about 12cm diameter, rounded, in layers in a hard Neoproterozoic slate. The origin is uncertain, possibly originally anhydrite nodules that have been leached and partly replaced by quartz, calcite, siderite and baryte? (Steve Sorrell and Barry Porter pers. comm., 2018).
