Abstract
A small fauna of mammals, which includes Elephas antiquus, has been obtained from the Stretton Sand. This, the oldest member of the Pleistocene succession north of Moreton-in-Marsh, has previously been interpreted as glacial outwash from a Severn Valley source and usually ascribed to an early phase of the Wolstonian Glaciation. It is now ascribed to the Hoxnian interglacial, with its rare erratics of presumed Welsh provenance derived from erosion of an earlier Anglian glaciation.Keywords
