On a Series of Ancient “Floors” in a Small Valley Near Ipswich
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 October 2013
Extract
In a paper published in 1917 I described a series of ancient “floors” occurring in the sides of the valley occupied by the brick works of Messrs. A. Bolton and Co., Ltd., Henley Road, Ipswich. Since this date I have been able, thanks to the generosity of the Right Honourable the Earl of Iveagh, K.P., and the Trustees of the Percy Sladen Memorial Fund, to continue the investigation, and it is now my purpose to give an account of the results obtained in these later diggings. Before doing so, however, I would wish to express my sincere thanks to the directors of the brick works company for the facilities freely granted me to carry out the excavations, and to Dr. R. H. Rastall and Mr. E. T. Lingwood for the invaluable help they have rendered me in the preparation of this report.
The general geological details and manner of formation of the small valley in which the diggings were conducted are set out fully in the paper quoted above. But, my continued examination of the strata exposed in the valley under consideration has led me to certain new and somewhat far-reaching conclusions regarding them.
