Abstract
An account of a short field meeting to study Middle Pleistocene palaeosols and sediments near Chelmsford, Essex. Temperate palaeosols are recorded both above and below the Lowestoft till as rubified palaeoargillic horizons. An arctic palaeosol is also recorded beneath the till superimposed on the rubified palaeoargillic horizon and associated with coversand. The sands and gravels beneath the till are subdivided into a lower fluvial unit, deposited in a periglacial environment along a former course of the River Thames, and an upper glacifluvial unit, deposited as outwash in front of the glaciers which subsequently deposited the Lowestoft till.
