[[underlined]] Cut 1 [[/underlined]]
At Hawarden visited the C.N.W. sand pit. It shows sand & gravel, cross-banded, with usual irregularities & alternations, to a depth of about 20 ft.

On top of it 4-6 ft. of silty sand (or sandy silt) from the soil.

A very few very large boulders have been taken out.

This looks Aftonian.
