Being in the neighbourhood of Lopham, in July, 1914, I made such examination of the neighbouring flint and gravel pits as time allowed. In the majority of cases the pits are only dug to a moderate depth, the lower strata above the chalk being left untouched. A large pit at Diss, on the northern slope of the Waveney Valley, showed very fine sections of glacial deposits, including some very large, much-abraded flints.

At Hargham, Garboldisham, West Harling Heath, and Banham was a cohesive, argillaceous, red sand, beneath the humus, some four or five feet in depth and containing a considerable number of flints. Most of these are in a vertical position. At Hargham a stratified gravel was visible beneath the aforesaid. At West Harling the red material was interdigitated, vertically, with chalk rubble containing flints. Here, and more numerously at Garboldisham, were humanly-chipped flints, apparently intermediate in age between the pre-Crag industry and the Pleistocene Palæoliths.
