Isle of INIan. Kirk Bride Shore. One Shap Granite Sub. Ang. striated. — 

 HarvisoH, B.A.R., 1897. 



Kendal, Westmorland. Several in Spital Wood ; one near Kendal 

 Reservoir ; one or two on Castle Hill, Kendal ; one near Windy Hill ; 

 one on the East side of Helm ; some boulders of granite and of the 

 altered rock surrounding the granitic area near the footpath by 

 Murley Moss to Oxenholme ; one in a drift bank cut through by the 

 canal near Larkrigg ; several in the fields east of Stainton ; others 

 near the footpath from Stainton to Sedgwick, one on the top of a drift 

 hill half a mile due west of Sellet Hall — several near Hindcastle ; some 

 in front of a farm house at Wath Sutton. I have also found Granite 

 boulders on the roadside between Natland and Helm, at the inns near 

 Helm End, and in a field a quarter of a mile west of Storth End ; 

 and on the road half a mile N.E. by N. of Storth End ; and at the bend 

 of road E. of Milnthorpe Station, besides in many other places which 

 it would be tedious to mention. 



I have traced these boulders as far S. as Milnthorpe. They occupy 

 a narrow belt of country whose long axis points directly for the granite 

 of Shap Fells. I have not seen any west of river Kent. The most 

 westerly I have seen are some near Hincaster still lying undisturbed 

 in a lane. A line drawn from Sleddale Pike, the most westerly out- 

 crop of granite on Shap Fells, to these boulders bears S. by W. The 

 most easterly in this neighbourhood is -la large one near Windy Hill, 

 about two miles S.E. of Kendal Railway Station, but I once saw one 

 high up on the side of Grayrigg Fell, N. of Grayrigg Tarn, which lies a 

 good deal further east. 



Boulders of the ordinary volcanic rocks of the Lake Mountains 

 indicate other directions for the ice flow, thus a large one of volcanic 

 breccia from the Lake Mountains may be seen lying on the side of 

 Sedbergh Road, about 2^ miles out of Kendal, and east of the line of 

 Granite boulders. 



As the granitic area of Shap Fells is at the extreme east end of 

 the volcanic rocks, this boulder must have crossed the line of flow 

 along which the granite boulders travelled. — Dakyns, B.A.R., 1878. 



Kilburn. Roadside. Heap in the village. — Kendall, Y.B.C., 1902.
