Non-exhaustive record of locations of Shap granite (Sg) boulders and Shap microgranite (Sa) clasts in the Lake District region, UK.

Non-exhaustive record (~10,000) of locations of Shap granite (Sg) boulders and Shap microgranite (Sa) clasts. Search area was limited from: in the NE, the eastern margin of Gaythorn Plain; in the NW, Shap Pink Quarry; in the SE, Farleton Fell and; in the SW, the locale of Kendal (approximate coordinates of the study area: NE: 54.499850° -2.519770°; NW: 54.468401° -2.685596°; SE:  54.226849°  -2.519770°; SW: 54.227170°  -2.770000°)

The northern limit to the study area was selected to exclude the northern plume, which disrupted the earlier eastern plume over Crosby Ravensworth Fell.  The western limit was selected to enclose the known western limit of the Mint plume. The eastern limit was selected to enclose the known eastern limit of the Lune plume.  The southern limit was selected to enclose the broadening of the Mint plume in the vicinity of Kendal.    

A comprehensive field survey was made of lower Borrowdale and northwards.  The western Sg plume down the Mint valley south to Kendal, and the area of Lune Gorge, south of Dillicar, were surveyed cursorily, mainly checking published locations and adding additional locations encountered during this exercise.  Prior reports for the Mint valley show a well-defined narrow plume, so to reduce the workload, a more complete record of locations has yet to be compiled.  Similarly, from prior reports, boulder locations are few in the region around Kendal and east to the southern portion of the Lune valley and the overall distribution, before clearances, was recorded adequately in the 19^th C.
