Abstract: |
Lthological assessment of a monolith sample. In March 2022, at the request of Red River Archaeology Ltd, ARCA examined one monolith of sediment from Trench 53 excavated at Land at Horton Wood Solar Farm, east of Horton Kirby in Kent. The sediment is colluvium with a fine to very fine sandy silt/clay lithology. Occasional clasts of chalk and flint are present. No dateable artefacts have been found in the colluvium, however, it buries a pit and scoop of possible prehistoric date. No buried soils are recognisable. The presence of palaeoenvironmental proxies in the sediment is considered to be unlikely: there are no molluscs; and the grain size and oxidised nature militate against the survival of pollen. No further work is recommended. |
