Abstract:		 SU 413170. The ditch section of the Overton Down experimental earthwork provides a dated record of the degradation of two free faces with opposing aspects. The earthwork constructed in 1960 was sectioned in 1968 and a record of the geomorphology of the ditch section is given. A detailed description and mechanical analysis of the ditch deposits is given as a basis for a discussion on the processes leading to asymmetrical infilling. The significance of falling turves in breaking the stratigraphy of the deposit is noted, and the complexity of the stratigraphy after only eight years suggests the need for extensive excavations of archaeological sites if stratigraphy is to play a major part in interpretation.
