Ormesby beck about 3 miles east of Stainton beck, has the same sequence of deposits in this image the ever present red clay sits beneath the gravel bed.
The gravel bed contains the same material as found at Stainton, a limestone piece containing mainly gryphaea can be seen sat on the red clay.
As at Stainton, Maltby, and Stainsby becks the gravel beds contain organic material.
This thin line of bright red then blue running through the red clay looks to be the same as found at Maltby, it can be seen clearly running beneath the beck.
This image shows that Ormesby beck is at an advanced stage in cutting through the red clay, than at the other beck locations.
This is further upstream showing the blue grey seem that has been uncovered above the gravel bed at Stainton and Maltby.
A close up of the first excavation showing the gravel bed sat on the red clay, the gravel bed contains magnetic whin stone as at all the other locations.

The stone to the rear attracts the small magnet, i think this stone unlike the yellow sandstone viewed to the front is whinstone, the next two stones appear to be grey limestone, then the yellow stones.
The highest stone in this image appears to have been rounded ie no sharp edges.
My worry is that if the bank collapses it will destroy what could be a very important discovery.

This is an image of my first contact with the possible structure
I did at first think it was a sandstone boulder crushed and split by geological pressures from above, but then found limestone included in the line of stone going into the clay bank.
It does appear to have maybe collapsed to this angle.
I have informed certain professional organisations of this excavation, and hope to get some feed back soon, i am worried about any damage that could be done due to flooding.
This could well be some geological phenomena i have not seen before, but it looks very much like it was built.
