Dunwich Group
The Dunwich Group is a Pleistocene lithostratigraphic group present in England north of the upper Thames and, downstream, a line drawn east from near Marlow to Clacton-on-Sea and which encompasses river terrace deposits of the Proto-Thames and other rivers. It unconformably overlies Triassic to Pleistocene bedrock and superficial deposits. In turn it is often overlain by deposits of the Albion Glacigenic Group and sometimes by those of the Britannia Catchments Group or British Coastal Deposits Group and interfingers in places with those of the Crag Group. No deposits potentially assignable to the group have been identified north of East Anglia or the English Midlands; they are likely to have been destroyed or removed by glacial action.
