WLC site description

Part of the Coal Measures Group sites

Other designations: LWS (Barbauchlaw Burn); (WS (Barbauchlaw Glen); AGLV

Neither of these sites west of Armadale was visited but the Coalfield memoir indicates that a 10 m thick section of sandstones above Mill Coal (Lower Coal Measures) was formerly quarried here. It is recommended that these sites are visited when the opportunity arises.
