210Pb dating of a short Mackereth core, from a suite characterised previously by palaeomagnetic and radiocarbon dating, has been performed using both conventional radiochemical and particle track methods. The latter involves total α and U assay using plastic detectors and untreated sediment pellets. Sedimentation rates determined by the two techniques are in good agreement (~22 mg cm-2 y-1), suggesting that the simpler particle track method has much to offer in routine sediment dating. The radiometric time scale is totally consistent with heavy metal profiles and the known industrial history of the surrounding area.
