The main deposits date to the Wolstonian glaciation around 130,000 years ago, but the latest have radiocarbon dates of only 12,500 years, during the most recent Younger Dryas ice age.{{cite web|url= https://designatedsites.naturalengland.org.uk/PDFsForWeb/Citation/2000062.pdf |title=Hubbard's Hill citation|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|access-date= 13 February 2018}}
