Site Event/Activity record ESF25573 - Monitoring -Baptist Chapel, Laxfield

Monitoring of ground works for an extension on the north-west corner of the chapel complex and 36m north of the street frontage revealed a large mid-20th century pit but no finds of pre-1900 date. The 24m of 600m wide and 1000mm deep foundation trenches revealed 300mm of topsoil above 200mm of mid brown clay subsoil which lay over the local occurring natural glaciofluvial deposit which was stiff pale brown clay with chalk fragments and flints above light grey chalky clay (S1).
