COVER PHOTOGRAPH
Flimston Churchyard and its erratic boulders. Some are used as grave headstones. The churchyard is on the limestone coast of South Pembrokeshire, and the erratics are mostly igneous, probably from the St David’s Peninsula. How and when were they transported? (Photo: Louise Trotter)
2 Quaternary Newsletter Vol. 158, February 2023
The Quaternary Research Association has just published my new article on the problem of the "south Pembrokeshire ice free enclave" -- as the lead article in Vol 158 of Quaternary Newsletter. It's good to see it in print at last! It has nothing whatsoever to do with Stonehenge or the bluestones, except maybe in flagging up the great extent of Late Devensian ice in western Britain -- making new evidence available as a supplement to much else that has been published in recent years.
It will be interesting to see what response there is from other specialists in this field -- I'm not really getting after anybody else here, and over the years I have dithered as much as everybody else in trying to understand what the field evidence is telling us.
The plan is that the article should be open access, although for the moment it may be available just to QRA members. Please let me know if you are not able to get at it.
I will in any case try to make the article available on Researchgate and Academia in the near future.
