| Description: | Carnish, west Lewis. Outer Hebrides. A glaciofluvial delta or terrace at or a little above 50 metres O.D. is underlain by sand and gravel covering an area of 0.5 square kilometres. The scale is given by farm buildings. It has been suggested that the material has been deposited as a delta in a lake held up by ice to the west. The kettled surface of the terrace and evidence from the large foresets (sedimentary structures) where exposed, suggest transport of the material from the west. |
