Author/Originator
Date/Year 2001

Abstract/Summary

Report on an auger survey of the Floodplain Deposits for Lafarge Aggregates Ltd by TPAT in 2001. A total of 49 boreholes were drilled across the area. Relief models indicate an increasing thickness of alluvial and peaty deposits towards the southern and easter margins of the site infilling a depression which could be associated with a formerly active channel. Indicates a floodplain landscape preserving organic deposits of signficant palaeoenvironmental potential. A rare opportunity to study Bronze Age environment change in the Lower Trent Valley.
