ATHERFIELD, a tything in Shorwell parish, Isle of Wight; on the S coast, 6½ miles SSW of Newport. Atherfield rocks here are subject to landslips; and then, after being washed by the waves, show very strikingly the juxtaposition of the lowermost of the greensand deposits with the uppermost of the Wealden.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
