Abstract: |
Natural gravels were observed across the site. These deposits were overlain by a second sandy natural deposit Both of these deposits may be fluvial or colluvial in orgin. Alluvial clays were present in most of the test pits, these were overlain by made ground. The test pits show that the land was marshy until being reclaimed from the Stour estuary in the 20th century, with much of the topsoil from site being stripped before the land was raised by the dumping of modern made ground. |
