SOIL REPORT: TULLIE HOUSE, CARLISLE, CUMBRIA.

Author(s): M McHugh

A sequence of two buried soils overlying the ramparts of a 2nd century fort, and subsequently sealed by Medieval buildings, were examined. It was concluded from the depth and degree of profile development that exposure of the lower soil had been short-lived. Textural differences suggested that the topsoil may not have developed in situ. The upper profile was developed in depositional material and probably represents a phase of stability, though a timescale could not be given.
