The available evidence suggests that this is the Stotfield Cherty Rock Formation, a very localised formation described by the British Geological Society as "Sedimentary rock comprising massive pale grey chert, sandy limestone, calcareous sandstone and silicified sandstone of pedogenic origin." Do you call it limestone, sandstone or maybe a combination such as 'Slimeandstone'?
