The sediments at Chelford constitute one of the key Devensian sequences in Britain. Previous radiometric dating attempts using wood and peat from the interstadial deposits per se suggest its age is likely to be beyond the limits of resolution by radiocarbon. Using TL dating of feldspar and quartz mineral fractions from the host succesion of Chelford Sands, a sequence of internally consistent dates is derived which accords with the existing litho- and biostratigraphic evidence. These suggest that the absolute age of the Chelford Interstadial is in the range 90-100 ka. The Chelford Sands appear to be the product of at least two cold stages.
