Abstract

A structural analysis of the cliffs and one pit section in Pleistocene deposits at Weybourne has shown one major phase of ice movement only. Ice moving from approximately 210 degrees caused the disturbance of the upper part of the Chalk (together with the overlying Weybourne Crag) and the deformation and deposition of a chalky-boulder-clay, thought to be equivalent to the Lowestoft till.
