Geological notes and details for 1:10 000 sheets : SHEET SY 09 SW (Aylesbeare, Devon) : part of 1:50 000 Sheet 325 (Exeter)

The primary 1:10 OOO-scale survey of Sheet SY 09 SW was carried out by R A Edwards in 1983 under the direction of R W Gallois, District Geologist, as part of a geological survey of Exeter and its environs,conmissioned by the Department of the Environment (Contract PECD7/1/054). The map area lies to the east of Exeter and is one of nine 1:10 000 sheets (Figure 1) surveyed in 1982 and 1983 with the objectives of collating existing data and interpreting the lithology and hydrogeology of the superficial deposits and the Permo-Triassic rocks for use in future resource assessment and land use planning. This report and the accanpanying map st.mmarise the results of earlier work and the 1982/1983 survey. Discussion of the geology of all nine sheets that canprise the Exeter project is contained in a separate BGS report (Bristow and others 1984).
