The relation of the coombe rock to the 135-ft. raised beach at Slindon, Sussex, by Kenneth P. Oakley, B.Sc., F.G.S. and E. C. Curwen, M.A., M.B., B.Ch., F.S.A., published 1937 in The Proceedings of the Geologists' Association London (no. 48 issue 4, article, pp.317-323)   View Online

The so-called 100-ft. Raised Beach of the Sussex coast comprises marine sands amI shingle resting at heights varying from 80 to 135 feet above O.D., and can be traced almost continuously between Chichester and Arundel. Various parts of it have been described by Prestwich (1859, 1892), Clement Reid (1892, 1903) and Osborne White (1924), but the most comprehensive account is that of Fowler (1932). The beach has generally been treated as an indivisible unit, but recently archaeological evidence has been brought forward (Calkin, 1935) to show that the deposits at 80-90 feet above O.D. at AIdingbourne Park are older than those at Slindon Park. which attain an altitude of 135 feet above O.D. There is consequently some justification for distinguishing a 90-ft. Beach and a 135-ft. Beach. Taken together, they appear to mark the period of rising baselevel which caused prolonged aggradation of the rivers in Southern England during Clactonian-Middle Acheulian times (i.e.. the "100 ft. Terrace aggradation").
