Summary
The superficial deposits within the map-sheet are classified genetically and described. Moraines dominate the superficial deposits. These, together with glaciofluvial deposits, are described briefly as regards lithology and grain-size distribution. A model for the sequence of geological events during the Quaternary era is proposed based on earlier work and recent field mapping. Three glaciofluvial deposits have been assessed to evaluate their suitability as commercial sand and gravel deposits.
