Stockbridge Formation marble unit. (Note: While this site - and others in the Berkshire marbles - is oftened referred to as being a "quarry," it actually isn't. "Quarrying" is the process of cutting rock out in blocks or slabs. If the rock is blasted out as rough chunks for further processing, the process is known as open-pit mining. This appears to have been the case here, as there are no signs of quarrying having been done.)
