Fig. 16.—Section XVI., across the Waveney Valley near the sea and the confluence of the river with the Yare.

(Length 6¾ miles. Vertical scale 17½ times the horizontal.)

The interglacial valley probably extended below the alluvium of the present valley.

N.B. The elevation of the ground by the pit near Bricklin Farm (where No 6. comes nearly to the surface under No. 8) ranges, according to the book of levellings published by the Ordnance Department, between 46 and 58 feet above datum, while along the base of Corton Cliff No. 6 rises from 0 to 8 feet above beach, or, say, to 15 feet above datum.
