Age and significance of former low-altitude corrie glaciers on Hoy, Orkney Islands

Geomorphological mapping provides evidence for two former low-level corrie glaciers on Hoy, both defined by end moraines. Five Be-10 exposure ages obtained from sandstone boulders on moraine crests fall within the range 12.4 +/- 1.5 ka to 10.4 +/- 1.7 ka (weighted mean 11.7 +/- 0.6 ka), confirming t...
