Abstract: |
A programme of geo-archaeological borehole evaluation was carried out at the Littlestone Golf Course between St Marys Bay and, New Romney, Kent. The work was undertaken on 28th November 2011 on behalf of Atkins Global. Five boreholes were sunk to a metre below the proposed impact depth (3m) using a Geotool window sampler rig. The findings confirmed the results of previous geotechnical investigations at the site in demonstrating the presence of sands and gravels of marine origin. In BH1, a thin (100mm) bed of dark silty sand may indicate a possible channel edge environment of intertidal or alluvial nature. No units consistent with well preserved organic remains, occupation land surfaces or un weathered alluvium were encountered |
