The central part of the slide is a transition zone, forming most of the ground between the two segments of road. Most of these slices above the upper road show little sign of current movement. The upper part of the slide material is a series of rock slices or blocks that were produced by the non-circular rotational failure of the original slope.

Waltham and Dixon (2000) have divided the landslide into three distinct zones (backscarp area, transition zone and debris flow) according to their structure.
