  • Revised Pre-Devensian Glacial Stratigraphy in Norfolk, England, Based on Mapping and Till Provenance
    Netherlands Journal of Geosciences — Geologie en Mijnbouw | 84 - 2 | 77 - 85 | 2005 Revised Pre-Devensian glacial stratigraphy in Norfolk, England, based on mapping and till provenance R.J.O. Hamblin1-2, B.S.P. Moorlock1'2, J. Rose2, J.R. Lee1-2, J.B. Riding1, S.J. Booth1 & S.M. Pawley2 1 British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, U.K. 2 Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 OEX, U.K. Corresponding author Dr. R.J.O. Hamblin; email: [email protected] Manuscript received: October 2003; accepted: November 2004 Abstract Mapping combined with till provenance studies have resulted in a re-appraisal of the pre-Devensian glacial stratigraphy of Norfolk, England. The traditional model invoked two formations, a North Sea Drift Formation (NSDF) overlain by a Lowestoft Formation, formed by co-existing ice- sheets originating in Scandinavia and Northern Britain respectively. The NSDF included three diamictons, the First, Second and Third Cromer tills. The Briton's Lane Sands and Gravels were considered to overlie the Lowestoft Formation. However, our work has shown this stratigraphy to be untenable, and we propose a model of several glaciations instead of co-existing ice-sheets. In our revised stratigraphy, the oldest formation, the Happisburgh Formation (including the Happisburgh or First Cromer Till) includes massive, sandy tills derived from northern Britain. The overlying Lowestoft Formation, including the Second Cromer (Walcott) Till is confirmed as derived from the west, introducing much Jurassic material as well as Chalk. The Sheringham Cliffs Formation includes both brown sandy tills (the Third Cromer Till) and 'marly drift', in a variety of tectonic relationships, and derived from the north and NNW.

  • West Runton & Beeston Regis Heath
    WEST RUNTON & BEESTON REGIS HEATH Archaeological Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey For The National Trust Brian Cushion Archaeological & Cartographical Surveyor June 2012 West Runton & Beeston Regis Heath Archaeological Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2 Summary 3 Results, with map 4 Conclusions 5 Bibliography 6 Acknowledgements 7 Appendices 2 1 Introduction The survey was commissioned in preparation for a Higher Level Stewardship proposal, and was undertaken in accordance with established guidelines of the Historic Environment Countryside Adviser of Norfolk Landscape Archaeology. The survey covers an area of 87 hectares of woodland and heath, including a recently acquired area of woodland which projected from the west into the earlier property extent. The majority of the managed woodland is on the flatter ground on the top of the Cromer Ridge, the heath and more varied woodland is on the sharply serrated north-facing slopes and intervening spurs of the ridge. The fieldwork method was to perambulate the area in as systematic way as topography and vegetation allows, ideally with c.50m transects, record features of note on a map provided, and give a brief analytical description. Hand-held GPS equipment would assist in positioning of the features. Early published maps were consulted, and the existing archaeological records were provided by Norfolk Landscape Archaeology. (See Appendices A & B). A National Trust Archaeological Report for the earlier area had been compiled by Dr Peter Wade-Martins, the then County Archaeologist in 1986 & 1992. Appropriate references are in the text. The area comprises parts of three parishes, West Runton, Beeston Regis and Aylmerton, within the former is the location of The Roman Camp, a well known local viewpoint and beauty spot, unfortunately misnamed.
