Britannia Catchments Group
The Britannia Catchments Group is a Quaternary lithostratigraphic group (a sequence of rock strata or other definable geological units) present in all parts of Great Britain and including the Isle of Man. It includes a wide range of deposits including alluvium, river terrace deposits, peat, head, cover sand and blown sand of fluvial, lacustrine, mass movement, periglacial and aeolian origin. Its lower boundary is defined as an unconformable contact with the underlying Albion Glacigenic Group (in England and Wales), the Caledonia Glacigenic Group (in Scotland), the Dunwich Group, Crag Group or with older bedrock. Its upper boundary is generally the present day ground surface but it interfingers locally with the British Coastal Deposits Group.
