“…This was later termed the "Cayton-Speeton Stage" by Straw (1979). The Flamborough Moraine to the south was allocated to the "Seamer-Flamborough Stage" by Penny and Rawson (1969) who referred to the linearity in the moraine at Reighton as possible drumlins. Further south on Holderness, Valentin (1957) traced a line connecting the outcrops of the Kelsey Hill Gravels at Burton Agnes, Brandesburton, Bilton and Patrington out to the North Sea, which he regarded as a product of the "second readvance"; this line also encloses the extent of the Withernsea (Purple) Till (see Section 2.3).…”

“…The 70 m level is associated with a kame terrace between West Ayton and Wykeham, referred to as the Wykeham moraine and representative of the ice margin during the "Wykeham Stage" (Penny and Rawson, 1969). An outwash fan at Seamer, fed by the Mere Valley, graded to the lower Lake Pickering level of 45 m when ice stood at the Cayton-Speeton Stage limit (Penny and Rawson, 1969;Straw, 1979). A more extensive western ice limit was suggested for the Vale of Pickering by Foster (1985Foster ( , 1987 based on the distribution of the Sherburn Sands, which represent an outwash train stretching from Flotmanby to Hovingham at the western end of the Vale.…”

This paper reviews the evidence presently available (as at December 2003) in an effort to stimulate further research on the last British Ice Sheet and promote a reconstruction of ice sheet behaviour based on glacial geology and geomorphology. The wide range of evidence that has been scrutinized for inclusion on the glacial map is assessed with respect to the variability of its quality and quantity and the existing controversies in ice sheet reconstructions. Landforms interpreted as being of unequivocal ice-marginal origin (moraines, ice-contact glacifluvial landforms and lateral meltwater channels) and till sheet margins are used in conjunction with available chronological control to locate former glacier and ice-sheet margins throughout the last glacial cycle. Subglacial landforms (drumlins, flutings and eskers) have been used to demarcate former flow patterns within the ice sheet. The compilation of evidence in a regional map is crucial to any future reconstructions of palaeo-ice sheet dynamics and will provide a clearer understanding of ice sheet configuration, ice divide migration and ice thickness and coverage for the British Ice Sheet as it evolved through the last glacial cycle.2

“…1). The Wykeham Moraine is generally taken to mark the maximum western advance of the North Sea arm of this ice-sheet, at the eastern end of the Vale of Pickering (Penny and Rawson, 1969;Evans et al, 2016), although others have suggested a more westerly maximum ice limit to the east of Pickering (Foster, 1985). However, the deposits of the Wykeham Moraine are not tills (diamicton), but consist of glaciofluvial sand and gravel, probably deposited at the frontal lobe of the ice-sheet (Penny and Rawson, 1969;Edwards, 1978).…”

We report the first chronology, using four new optically stimulated luminescence dates, on the sedimentary record of Glacial Lake Pickering, dammed by the North Sea Lobe of the British-Irish Ice Sheet during the Dimlington Stadial (24-11 ka cal BP). Dates range from 17.6 AE 1.0 to 15.8AE 0.9 ka for the sedimentation of the Sherburn Sands at East Heslerton, which were formed by multiple coalescing alluvial fans prograding into the falling water levels of the lake and fed by progressively larger volumes of debris from the Wolds. Fan formation ceased $15.8 ka, at a time when permafrost was degrading and nival-fed streams were no longer capable of supplying sediment to the fans. A further age of 10.1 AE 0.7 ka dates the reworking of coversand into the early part of the Holocene, immediately post-dating Younger Dryas periglacial structures. A 45-m lake level dates to $17.6 ka, when the North Sea Lobe was already in retreat, having moved eastward of the Wykeham Moraine; it stood further east at the Flamborough Moraine by $17.3 ka. The highest (70 m) lake level and the occupation of the Wykeham Moraine date to an earlier phase of the North Sea Lobe occupation of the Vale of Pickering. #
