Abstract
Summary Palaeomagnetic work has been undertaken on four different rock types from the Cheviot Hills, Northern England. A total of 64 independently oriented handsamples from 21 different sites have been examined for their remanent magnetization. The rocks have been dated (K/Ar) as Lower Devonian. The most reliable palaeopole has been obtained from the combined results for the rhyolites and the andesites of the Cheviot volcanic series. It is situated at position S, 140 E (ass = 18, 11 sites, 35 handsamples, af cleaned). This pole and also some preliminary poles calculated for the metamorphosed andesites and the Cheviot Granite support the existence of a Lower Devonian group of palaeomagnetic north poles in the region of New Guinea as defined by previously published results from other British formations.
