|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRK_IV | -0.260 | -0.47 | -0.05 | Fibrous brown peat (47 cm of peat collected; the uppermost few cm of peat may not have been collected) |
| FRK_IV | -0.025 | -0.05 | 0.00 | Dark (due to fine charcoal), highly decomposed peat (blanket bog). Above this brown peat (rooting layer) |
| FRK_IV | 0.140 | 0.00 | 0.28 | Uppermost mineral soil (includes A0). Moderately organic-rich fine sandy loam |
| FRK_IV | 0.350 | 0.28 | 0.42 | B2 horizon; an indistinct iron pan near the top |
| FRK_IV | 3.710 | 0.42 | 7.00 | C horizon; ca. 7 m thick, i.e. it extends to bedrock exposed in the stream bed); rather high boulder content (not seen in FRK III) |
| FRK_III | -0.065 | -0.13 | 0.00 | Dark (due to fine charcoal), greasy peat (blanket bog). Above this brown peat (ca. 23 cm; rooting layer) |
| FRK_III | 0.060 | 0.00 | 0.12 | A0 mineral soil horizon. An organic-rich sandy loam; small stones at/near surface (but not forming a distinct layer) |
| FRK_III | 0.160 | 0.12 | 0.20 | A2 horizon; lighter in colour than overlying A0 horizon |
| FRK_III | 0.195 | 0.20 | 0.19 | B2 horizon; rather indistinct |
