The disused Goat Quarry near Crossgates - this closely follows the quartz-dolerite intrusion of the Midland Valley Sill complex, which trends NE-SW, underlying the Cullaloe Hills. The quarry is extensive, and is more than one kilometre in length. See Geology of Britain Viewer: http://www.bgs.ac.uk/discoveringGeology/geologyOfBritain/viewer.html
