Short Description:
Orangey clay slumping fill in ditch F707
Issued to
Ben Swain | 28/09/2023

Interpretation

    • Similar to clay 2566, this material is made of mostly pure compact clay with occasional charcoal flecks and some small sandstone pieces. It perhaps represents another slumping event from bank material, due to its high level of compaction and clay content and a lack of finds.
