Pleistocene superficial deposits, Balcombe area, central Weald, by D. J. W. Piper, published November 1971 in Geological Magazine (vol. 108, issue 6, article, pp.517-523) View Online
Abstract:Pleistocene silty mudflow deposits mantle much of the valley sides and floors of the Balcombe area of the central Weald. Boulder deposits at the foot of cliffs formed of resistant bedrock sandstones are also of Pleistocene age. One well sorted sand from a gentle valley side shows surface grain textures under the scanning electron microscope indicative of wind action. The superficial deposits formed under periglacial conditions, and their distribution indicates most of the landforms are relict Pleistocene features.
