The Gilbard Exotic Rediscovered at Aldingbourne

The Gilbard Exotic, a large boulder of rock alien to Sussex has been relocated by Mark Roberts south of the Brighton-Norton Raised Beach in the parish of Aldingbourne. While cobbles of non-local rock are found in both the Aldingbourne and Boxgrove raised beaches, this is the most northerly large boulder yet discovered. On-going work by the project aims to understand the origin of these rocks.
