CGS: Linear topographical feature at Linewath

On 13th September 2015 a dozen members met at Linewath to record a conspicuous linear feature. The day was co-ordinated by Alan Smith. The linear feature runs north-south and is undisturbed at its southern end. Towards the northern end material has been extracted leaving a disturbed cross section and much loose material. The dimensions of the feature was recorded together with the dimensions and shapes of randomly selected pebbles. A wide variety of lithologies were recognized among the pebbles, including pebbles of the Threlkeld microgranite and a pebble of the Armboth Dyke above Thirlmere.

After lunch the party moved to the Rospow Hills to consider their formation.

The recorded data will be analysed and published in the forthcoming issue of the Proceedings of the Society.
