Abstract
This interglacial has been defined by West (1956) following an investigation of the palaeobotany of lacustrine deposits overlying chalky (Lowestoft) till at Hoxne in Suffolk. Apart from the type site at Hoxne, a number of other localities of this age have been described in East Anglia, while analogous deposits have been recorded from the Thames Valley and its environs, the English Midlands, Sussex, Lincolnshire, Wales, Scotland and Ireland (Figure 6.1).
