West Angle interglacial site

 

Thanks to Nick Cleary for publishing the top two splendid drone photos on Facebook.  The lower photo is an annotated satellite image from Google Earth.  I'm publishing these here because together they show the setting for the interglacial deposits which I have described in other posts.  I am now pretty well convinced that during the last interglacial, at a time of higher relative sea level, there was an extensive boggy area in this through valley that runs across the peninsula to Angle Bay, and that at the western end there was a dune slack in which the interglacial sediments accumulated, to be later overrun byDevensian Irish Sea ice as the glacier came in from the NW.
