Measurements were made at 0.5 cm intervals using a Bartington ring sensor with a 75 mm aperture. Values are reported by depth and modelled age (approximately 844 to 2021 CE) and are used as a proxy for catchment soil erosion and minerogenic sediment input, with higher values indicating greater input of eroded mineral material.
