SOIL REPORT ON BURIED SAXON SOIL AT LANGHAM ROAD, RAUNDS, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.
Author(s): R I Macphail
Thin section analysis of a locally sealed 7th Century Saxon soil and the underlying gleyed clay subsoil showed that the Saxons may have occupied a moderately virgin site. Occupation was succeeded by ploughing which reworked the occupation materials which appeared to be more sandy in texture. Continued Saxon and Medieval occupation and ploughing formed a loamy headland depositabout 1 metre in thickness. The study is supported by 5 colour plates.
