Fuller, J.G.C.M. & Torrens, H.S. (2010). Murchison in the Welsh Marches: a History of Geology Group field excursion led by John Fuller, May 8^th - 10^th, 1998. p.1-16.

Within the field area of the Welsh Marches, centred on Ludlow, the excursion considered the work of two pioneers of geology: Arthur Aikin (1773-1854) and Robert Townson (1762-1827), and the possible train of geological influence from Townson to Aikin, and Aikin to Murchison, leading to publication of the Silurian System in 1839.

Pannett, D. (2010). Glacial Meltwater Channels of the Stiperstones Area. p.17-19.

Consideration of recent contour maps reveals that glacial meltwater channels in the Stiperstones and Long Mynd areas have elevations compatible with an ice margin sloping from west to east cutting across SW-NE ridges where they would have dammed water in the heads of the valleys, forcing some flow across cols in the main watershed. Such channels suggest that ice once lapped around the Stiperstones to a height of at least 330 m.
