Abstract
For many years the breccia of Western Cumberland has been known locally as “ The Conglomerate ”, under which name it figures largely in hundreds of records of borings put down in search of haematite or coal. Since, however, its components consist in general of angular and subangular rather than rounded fragments, the term “ conglomerate ” is misleading; hence the deposit is here referred to as “ Brockram ” (broken rock), a descriptive lithological term applied to rocks of similar origin in the Vale of Eden and of definite significance to British geologists.
