The Deposit at Redhall, like that of Cowden Glen, 

 has been generally accepted as of Interglacial age. The 

 many weeds of cultivation, capsules of Flax, and pieces of 

 charcoal, that it contains can scarcely belong to any earlier 

 period than the Neolithic. The flora closely corresponds 

 with that of the upper bed at Hailes.
