Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording at Stolford, Somerset was undertaken by AC archaeology during January 2018. The work comprised the monitoring of three geotechnical trial pits associated with a proposed flood defence scheme and represented a second stage of investigations. The site is located close to an area previously identified as containing prehistoric submerged forest and peat deposits. The geotechnical investigations exposed an approximately 3m thick series of alluvial deposits above the mudstone geology. Although these deposits contained some limited preserved organic content, there was no evidence for peat formation in the area investigated. These were then sealed by made ground deposits that were probably associated with the existing flood defences. |
