The other channel occurs near Goldsborough, and is called 

 Stangoe Carr It is a flat floored trench falling eastwards 

 from 550-525 feet, and is cut in drift. Both this and the 

 preceding channel are indicative of obstructed drainage 

 tailing eastward for a very brief period. 



The courses of the streams in this area in relation to their 

 old valleys and to the drift are too well-known to need repeti- 

 tion here, and full details will be found in Barrow's Memoir 

 page 68. ' 



Finally must be mentioned two or three valleys which 

 though now streamless can hardly be regarded as glacial 

 overflows, owing both to their position and their form One 

 of them occurs near Moor House Farm, south of Roxbv 

 Village It falls from 660 feet westwards down the eastern 

 slope of Roxby Beck, to about 550 feet or even lower and 

 occupies the position a tributary would, except that it 

 is perfectly dry. It is excavated in the country rock. 



The other valley is close to Buck Rush Farm, near Kilton 

 I . L } e ^t«'ards on the slopes of Kilton Beck, and is 

 about 25 feet deep near the farm. It has a flat floor and 

 lies at an elevation of between 475-400 feet, these altitudes 

 representing the slope and not the depth of the channel It 

 is perfectly streamless and excavated in drift. 



That these valleys once contained streams is obvious, but 

 whether these streams were of glacial origin, or existed at a 

 time when the rainfall was greater, is not so obvious 

 Further investigation of the area will doubtless throw light 

 on their origin. °
