	The third edition was published in 1987 (Waters and Lawrence, 1987<ref name="Waters"></ref>) following a program of resurvey and provides a more up to date view on the Superficial Deposits and the landforms of the district. The mapping was contemporaneous with major infrastructure projects such as the new M4 and development of the Culverhouse Cross area of the city which also provided fresh sections in the drift of the district, described in the memoir.

The conceptual cross-sections presented in this report are primarily based on interpretation of the details given in the BGS memoir for the Cardiff district (Waters and Lawrence, 1987<ref name="Waters">WATERS, R A and LAWRENCE, D J. 1987. Geology of the South Wales Coalfield, Part III, the country around Cardiff''. Memoir for 1:50 000 geological sheet 263 (England and Wales) ''ISBN 0 11 884402 4 </ref>) and associated 1:50,000 Superficial Deposits map (BGS, 1989<ref name="BGS"> BRITISH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 1989. Cardiff, England and Wales sheet 263, drift edition. 1:50 000. (Keyworth, Nottingham: British Geological Survey.) </ref>) but are also informed by published papers and observations made in the field and in borehole records.

The first edition of the memoir for Cardiff was published in 1902 (Strahan and Cantrill, 1902<ref name="Strahan 1902">STRAHAN, A and CANTRILL, T C. 1902. Geology of the South Wales Coalfield, Part III, the country around Cardiff. Memoir for 1:50 000 geological sheet 263 (England and Wales)</ref>) with a second edition (Strahan and Cantrill, 1912<ref name="Strahan 1912"> STRAHAN, A and CANTRILL, T C. 1912. Geology of the South Wales Coalfield, Part III, the country around Cardiff. ''Memoir for 1:50 000 geological sheet 263 (England and Wales)'' </ref>) with minor changes in 1912. These memoirs are especially useful for providing details of contemporary excavations which exposed sections in drift.

The third edition was published in 1987 (Waters and Lawrence, 1987<ref name="Waters"></ref>) following a program of resurvey and provides a more up to date view on the Superficial Deposits and the landforms of the district. The mapping was contemporaneous with major infrastructure projects such as the new M4 and development of the Culverhouse Cross area of the city which also provided fresh sections in the drift of the district, described in the memoir.
