Full Description
{1} It became apparent that the east bank of the river has moved west and at one point was 40m east of its present position. The western edge of the earlier river channel was not seen but the river was probably wider and shallower than it is today. Where recorded the old watercourse was at least 50m wide and up to 1.5m deep. Some of the silt layers contained waterlogged wood.
