Abstract
Temporary sections in the Lea Valley between Hertford and Edmonton have yielded evidence of former channels of the River Lea. The sections are described and their molluscan faunas recorded. A relative chronology is deduced, and where possible, an absolute chronology. Two Pleistocene channels are involved; an early post-glacial one which can be correlated with part of S. H. Warren's sequence at Nazeing, one probably of Romano-British Iron Age, and one later. The paper also describes recent deposits of the river. Except at one horizon, correlation with channel deposits in the Thames Valley is regarded as almost impossible.
