New Front Congresbury

The Old Red Sandstone, Marl and river alluvium form a new front for the stream flow on the Yeo River, Congresbury, this being the older river side and with a recessed slip to the west; the new river levee protecting the bungalows, to the south and behind, on this south bank opposite the geese and farm. The sediment has slipped into and surged forward below the water, the persistent flow and wet aiding slide of the particles, but it is likely there is a deeper slip plane carrying this feature forward as the mound of soil is well into the stream and of a convex form, rather than a cut back erosion from the streamflow.
