Site Event/Activity record ESF20282 - Heathland Creation Trials Site, Sizewell, Leiston

An excavation was carried out on former agricultural land to the west of the Sizewell B power station. The natural stratum is sand with patches of clay, interpreted as glacio-fluvial drift. It is at an average height of 14.60m AOD. The natural sand is cut by two shallow ditches oriented approximately east-west. They contain small quantities of un-diagnostic prehistoric pottery and worked/waste flint flakes. The ditches have been truncated by ploughing and are sealed by modern topsoil up to 0.35m thick.
