Extract

In the summer of 1911 I discovered numerous wind-worn stones in a gravel-pit near to Ramsdale, and situated at the side of the Old North Road 6 miles out of Nottingham. Samples of these were exhibited at the Geological Society's conversazione in 1912. During the next few months a trench for the water-main from the Derwent valley to Nottingham was opened along this road, and passed for a distance of over a mile through similar gravels, which in one place were at least 10 feet thick. Throughout this distance ‘dreikanter’ were common in the top 18 inches of soil and subsoil.
