The mild conditions of the Windermere Interstadial are best recorded, albeit weakly, by biological activity producing an enhanced porosity pattern of channels and vughs (, in samples 44 and D; Fig. 3). Other contemporary sites in southern England have pro- duced longer sedimentary sequences. For example, a number of chalky colluvial deposits have been described from Kent and the Isle of Wight ( Preece et ah, 1995). These are soil-sediments, with biological activity and pedogenesis being recorded through slightly enhanced amounts of organic matter, and in places, by concentra- tions of earthworm granules that indicate ephemeral land surfaces (Preece et ai, 1995). At King Arthur's Cave, Herefordshire, a very thin and weakly humic soil horizon was identified through soil micromorphology and chemistry (Macphail et al., 1999). This soil.
