Statement

The dataset is composed of two parts with different linages; 1) The historical dataset contains interpretations of buried valleys from 96 different publications (Appendix 1) which range in age from 1926-2018. 2) Significant areas of superficial thickening from boreholes which was created from 2018 borehole dataset which proves the depth to geological rockhead and rock at surface from the BGS Geology 50k superficial geology map version 8.
