Field Meeting, 25th April, 1908. 
BENNETT’S END AND LEVERSTOCK GREEN. 
This meeting also was under the direction of Mr. Whitaker 
and was chiefly attended by members of the (Geologists’ 
Association. Sir John Evans had intended to act as one of the 
Directors, but he was prevented by illness which proved fatal on 
the 31st of May. 
The weather was not propitious, snow having fallen heavily 
in the morning, and also on the previous day. As the writer 
was not present, the following particulars are taken from the 
Director’s report in the ‘ Proceedings of the (Geologists’ 
Association’ (vol. xx, pp. 504-505). 
At Bennett’s End the Acorn brickfield, west of the hamlet, 
was visited, and a section a little south-east of the buildings 
exposed the loamy basement-bed of the London Clay, with two 
layers of pebbles, but without shells, in vertical junction with 
the grey and mottled clay of the Beading Beds. This indication 
of disturbance, with the occurrence of the Chalk a few feet off, 
points to the probability of a fault, such as was seen and 
figured many years ago in a pit near, now abandoned. The 
greater part of the pit is in brick-earth, here covering both 
Chalk and Tertiary beds, of which a fine section was seen in 
another pit on the western side of the footpath westward of 
the brickyard, showing brown and red bedded loam, somewhat 
curved and of considerable thickness. 
At the (Greenfield brickyard at Lever stock (Green the brick- 
earth was again seen. Many large blocks of pudding-stone 
have been found in it, also long and large flints, some upright. 
The Chalk is reached here, and sometimes Beading sand is seen. 
At the Highfield brickyard, northward of Wood Lane End, 
masses of pebbles were seen in the loam. Here flint implements 
have been found by Sir John Evans, who adopts Mr. Worthington 
Smith’s view that the brick-earth is a deposit of lacustrine 
origin. 
A walk of about two miles through the snow brought the 
party to Boxmoor, where tea was partaken of at the Bailway 
Hotel.
