The Wolstonian period also saw the formation of several terminal moraines; for this reason there are numerous places throughout the plateau where the soil consists of clay made of oligocene and miocene, which belong to the tertiary period which predates the Wolstonian Stage by several million years.

The Wolstonian Glaciation, between about 352, 000 to 130, 000 years ago, which is thought to have peaked around 150, 000 years ago, was named after the village of Wolston southeast of Coventry which is thought to mark the southern limit of the ice.

The Wolstonian stage is equivalent to Marine Isotope stages 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 . and, thus, started about 352, 000 years ago and ended 130, 000 years ago . to designate glacial deposits and paleosols lying between the Sangamon and Yarmouth Soils ( paleosols ).

Recent re-evaluation of the evidence in the western Norfolk and Suffolk Fenland margin indicates unequivocally that the localities where the sediments of this river were identified, including High Lodge, West Dereham, Feltwell, Lakenheath and Warren Hill are, in fact, glacial meltwater deltas, dating from a Wolstonian-age glaciation ( c . 160 000 years old ).
