A BURIED SOIL AT TIVERTON, DEVON.

Author(s): H C M Keeley

A soil buried beneath a presumed prehistoric Long Barrow was examined during excavations by the CEU in 1985. The barrow appeared to have a turf core. The organic matter of the Ah horizon of the buried soil had been oxidised and the whole profile compressed. It is most likely that the soil was developed under grassland and that the site was open when the barrow was constructed.
