| Description: | Bonnington Mains. Lanarkshire. Looking east to north-east are two peat-filled kettle holes in hummocky fluvioglacial deposits with a spillway between them. There is a dry valley leading to the left out of the lower kettle hole. The whole area is covered by fluvioglacial sand and gravels beneath which are Carboniferous Calciferous Sandstone Series or Lower Old Red Sandstone strata. A kettle hole is a bowl-shaped depression that is formed by the melting of a large, detached block of melting stagnant ice that had been buried in the glacial drift left by a retreating glacier. |
