Chapter XV. the Neozoic Rocks of Gloucestershire and Somerset CHAPTER XV. THE NEOZOIC ROCKS OF GLOUCESTER­ SHIRE AND SOMERSET. Bv L. RICHARDSON, F.R.S.E., F.L.S., F.G.S. N Gloucestershire and Somerset the Neozoic rocks are those I ranging from the Bunter to the Coralli an inclusive, the Selb ornian, Chalk, tr aces of Eocene, and Pl eistocene depo­ sits-the last including the sporadicall y-distributed patches of sand of the Chelt enh am and Gloucester areas, the so-call ed " Northern Drift " pebbles of the same parts, the gravel of local origin, the alluvium of the Severn-side, and the Burtle, Peat, and Forest Beds of Somerset. The Kimeridge, Portland, Pur­ beck, Wealden, Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene are absent. During the fifty years of active existence of the Geologists' Associati on, parties of its members have visited these counties on several occasions, usually combining the study of the Paleeo­ zoic rocks with the Neozoic, and rarely, if ever, restricting their attention to th e one. BUNTER. Bunter Beds occupy a small area around Brom esberrow,* a village about half-way between Newent and Ma lvern , and appear from beneath the Keup er rocks in the neighbourhood of the Quantock Hills, encroaching upon or faulted against the Palreozoic rocks of that tract. t In the former area the soft red sandstones belong presumably to the Upper Bunter: no pebble­ beds as old as those that occur around the Quantock Hills have been found there, nor have they been proved in the deep borings in or near the Moreton Valley. T he " Bromesberrow Beds," as the sandstones are locall y called, must apparently be paral­ leled with the " Upper Sandstones " of the Quantock region. KEUPER. In Gloucestershire this series is divisible int o two parts­ the Lower Keuper Sandstones, or "Waterstones," and the Upper Keuper Marls. The Lower Keup er Sandstones are well exposed in a quarry at Huntley, in close proximity to the great fault that throws them into juxtaposition with the Silurians of May Hill. In point of • M em .

There is some variation in the lithic characters of the com­ ponent beds of the Upper Keuper from place to place. The highest subdivision, the" Tea-Green and Grey Marls," are best considered separately, for while the" Tea-green Marl " portion is of approximately the same lithic structure throughout this country, the Grey Marls have a less considerable geographi­ cal extent. In the Bristol Channel littoral the line of demarca­ tion between the "Tea-green" and "Grey Marls" is not at all sharply defined; indeed, it was on account of the sections in this neighbourhood that the question arose as to whether the" Tea­ green" and" Grey Marls" were Rheetic or Keuper. Originally, Etheridge divided the marls of grey, green, and black colours, which occur between the Keuper Red Marls and the Rhretic Black Shales, into two parts, calling the lower the "Tea-green Marls," and the upper the "Grey Mads." The former he classed with the Keuper, the latter with the Rhretic. Other authors did not feel disposed to accept this ruling, and when the question was again raised in subsequent years by Prof. Boyd Dawkins discovering Microlestes' teeth and charac­ teristic Rhsetic fossils in the "Grey Marls," Etheridge either forgot or abandoned his old ideas and referred the" Grey Marls," and the "Tea-green Marls" as well, to the Rheetic. Prof. Dawkins, however, had only found the organic remains in the top-portion of the" Grey Marls," and if Etheridge had simply used this information as substantiating his early claim for their Rhretic age, no doubt the matter would have been settled long ago. Buthedidnot: he grouped "Grey"and"Tea-green Marls "asRhretic. The late Edward Wilson, accustomed to work on the Rhsetic Series of the Midlands, could not understand how Etheridge came to the conclusion that the "Tea-green Marls" should be regarded as Rhretic. In the Midlands there is a sharp line of demarcation between them and the overlying Black Shales, and no signs whatever of any transition. By Etheridge lumping the fossiliferous" Grey Marls" with the" Tea-green," and employing the latter term for the joint series, Wilson did not suspect that there were beds on the Bristol Channel littoral, between the "Tea-green Marls" and Black Shales, that were absent from the Midlands, and that, in the former district, constituted true transition-beds, which it was difficult to apportion between the two series. But such certainly seems to be the case: the fossiliferous top-portion of the" Grey Marls "-the Sully Beds-are unques­ tionably Rhretic, but how far down they extend is a matter that must be decided upon by the downward extent of Rhsetic fossils. Up to the present the greatest thickness that has been assigned to them is 13 ft. r in., and this was recorded on the Somerset side at Blue Anchor Point. Therefore the "Tea-green and Grey THE NEOZOIC ROCKS OF GLOUCESTER AND SOMERSET. 331 Marls" that must be given to theKeuper are the, original beds thus named, less the Sully Beds. The" Grey Marl" portion is not co-extensive with the" Tea­ green Marls." It is unrepresented, as far as can be seen, in Gloucestershire, but is present in many of the Somerset sections, and on the shores of the English Channel at Culverhole, near Lyme Regis. Below the Tea-green Marls come red marls, variegated with regular bands and anomalous patches of grey and green tints. Then comes, in the Staunton-Newnham area, at about 215 ft. below the Rheetic, a fairly persistent bed of sandstone, containing Estheria; ichthyodorulites of a species of H ybodus, and the remains of plants. Below, in the same area, come marls again of the same type as those above. * In the Bristol district, however, the lower portion of the Upper Keuper is considerably more arenaceous, and around Chewton Mendip intermittent bands of calcareous sand­ stone make their appearance. This change as regards lithic structure in the Bristol area is one that might have been expected, for beds of MilIstone Grit and Old Red Sandstone must have been exposed while the Triassic rocks were being accumulated, and as what must have been inlet-riven islands are approached, thick conglomerates-the beaches of the period -take the place of the marls, and indicate the former extent of the Keuper waters. t "The classic section of a Trias beach" is that at the abrupt turning of the Bridge-Valley Road at Clif­ ton, t and a similar accumulation, resting upon the verti­ cally-placed Old Red Sandstone beds instead of inclined Car­ boniferous Limestone, is seen in a cliff section between Portis­ head and Clevedon. § The accumulation varies but little from place to place, so that if one section has been seen that is sufficient; but it may be added that in the Mendip Hills it has yielded in the past rich stores of calamine; while at pre­ sent, at Winford, the earthy variety of hsematite, raddle, which is so useful in the manufacture of pigments, is worked. The normal Keuper Marls, sometimes with the Tea-green Marls above, can be seen at The Mythe Tute (Tewkesbury), Wainlode.] Garden,' Beachley or Sedbury/'* and Aust Cliffs,tt Milton Lane, near Wells,tt the railway-cutting near Shepton Mallet,§§ and along the Watchet Coast.

No trace of rock-salt has been observed in the marls of these counties, but ramifying veins of gypsum-some of a beautiful pink colour-traverse portions of the cliffs of Aust and West Somerset; while deposits of celestine, near Yate,* and at Abbots Leigh, add to the commercial assets of the Bristol dis­ trict. The cliffs at Austj and in West Somerset'[ have been visited by the Association, and so have the interesting celestine workings near Yate, § where the mineral is first located by long probing rods. The celestine is exported from Avonmouth to Germany in large quantities for use in sugar-refining. In brief, the process consists in the combination of the strontium with the sugar, the removal of the mother-liquor, and the breaking up again of the strontium mono-saccharate. RHlETIC. In Gloucestershire and Somerset the Rhsetic Series is more frequently exposed, has a greater superficial extent and thick­ ness, and is more interesting than in any of the other counties. Usually its position between the red ground of the Keuper and the clay-flats of the Lower Lias is indicated by a very marked ridge, at or near the top of which its beds crop out.

    Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.

  • Self Guided Walk for Historic Borough Hill
    Self guided walk to the early history of Borough Hill Daventry . Welcome to Borough Hill. It is a British Heritage protected site managed by Daventry DC. This walk has been produced by the museum service at Daventry Town Council. Some of the artifacts excavated from the hill are in the museum collection. The walk starts from the car park at the main entrance to the hill and will take you between one and two hours to complete. Go through the pedestrian gate at the side of the cattle grid onto the trodden down path. The walk goes anti clockwise around the hill. A reasonably flat and sometimes gravelled path goes right around the hill and the walk can be completed without leaving the path although there are optional diversions. A bit about the natural history. Borough Hill is an acid grass land and as such is nutrient deficient and heath like. On it there are badger sets and rabbit warrens and no doubt foxes hunt it. In the winter you can see the mouse and field vole runs in the grass stems. Birds include the blue woodpecker and buzzards hunt the area. There are also carrion crows, jackdaws and rooks. It is an important site for Skylarks, which you can see rising vertically from the grass whilst singing a warning call. These are ground nesting birds and between April to September please keep to defined paths so as not to disturb the nests of what is now a declining species. The trees are most probably a plantation to be seen as a landscape feature from Norton Hall.

G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.

  • Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Second Stage Investigations: Iss
    Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Second Stage Investigations: Iss. 2, Mar-2016 Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Analysis of the Individual Hillfort Reports Synopsis: In the autumn of 2013, CLASP undertook to assist national teams working to compile an “Atlas of British Iron Age Hillforts” (jointly led by focus groups of senior archaeologists at the universities of Oxford and Edinburgh), by carrying out surveys of all known prehistoric hillforts in Northamptonshire. The results of these Northamptonshire surveys naturally feed forward into the national hillforts survey – but in addition, the CLASP team has recognised that the results for Northamptonshire are themselves capable of interpretation and analysis on a local basis. Resulting from this detailed research on each of the individual sites, it gradually became clear that it would be instructive to carry out further analytical investigations. This paper therefore aims to explore, analyse and summarise such of these investigations as could be carried out by desktop analysis and study of the individual survey reports. Five ‘metrics’ are first identified, by which the hillforts can be assessed; and case-study analysis is then applied to selected groups of the hilforts, incorporating a great deal of further data drawn from the wider landscape area around the hillforts, in order to study the ways in which the five metrics apply to each of the selected groups of forts. As a result, it has been possible to form certain conclusions, and to advance some theories about the site groupings and their functions and possible interactions. The CLASP team involved in this study is as follows: G.W.

  • Picturesque England.Pdf
    1 2 3 t would require much more than a single volume to describe all the picturesque spots in our native land. But as far as space permitted, we believe we have given descrip- tions of all those places in England - whether towns, castles, manors, forests, lakes, or mountains - that are especially remarkable or that have either historical memories or poetic and romantic legend and lay associated with them. Nearly every rood of ground in our country has some glorious or pathetic mem- ory attached to it; its battlefields, its scenes of tragic events, or of happier associations, unite in giving a subtile charm to the land ”set in the silver sea.” In order to give a fair picture of our country, we have sought for the picturesque in each of its forty counties; devoting generally three articles to each; but of course increasing the number of descriptions in those counties that have the greatest claim on our attention from their scenery or associations. The southern counties possess many beauties: a charming coastline, and fertile and lovely pastures. In Wiltshire are those unique and ancient memorials of the past - Stonehenge and Abury; Hampshire has its old forest famed in history, and its adjoin- ing ”isle of beauty,” the Wight; and all possess ruins of fine old castles and abbeys, and two of our finest cathedrals - Canterbury and Winchester. The shires round London are well called the Home Counties, for there is a great home charm in their quiet pastures and well-wooded lands; while in the very centre of our country our greatest poet was born, in lovely Warwickshire.
