Abstract: |
Borehole survey This report is a geoarchaeological assessment of strata
sampled in six boreholes drilled at Highlands Farm,
Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
Bedrock of the White Chalk Subgroup was encountered at
between 74.99m OD and 73.47m OD. Gravels of the
Anglian Black Park Gravel Member overlay the bedrock
and outcrop between 78.09m OD and 76.42m OD. Outside
the old Quarry area the Black Park Gravel Member was
recorded in five boreholes. Within the Quarry made ground
overlay the Chalk in the sixth borehole. The thickness of
the Gravel Member was between 2.3m and 3.7m. An area
of maximum thickness is believed to lie south of the old
Quarry.
The Black Park Gravel Member is assessed as being of
high archaeological potential and low palaeoenvironmental
potential. No artefacts were recovered from the borehole
cores. |
