Map: Roseneath Map Unit

This unit is restricted to heavy textured surface soils with some areas being covered by a veneer of sandy loam surface, particularly around Strathfieldsaye. Aldrick et al (1992) included this unit within their Clydebank map unit (Component 3) and Ward (1977) included it within his Reeve map unit.

Geology

Holocene sediments (Mostly Qrm with some Qrd – see Geology and Geomorphology) which were most likely deposited under paludal or lacustrine conditions (lake or marshy conditions).

Landform

Marine plain.

Soils

Two main soil types have been identified on the map, Roseneath clay surface (Rn,c) and Roseneath sandy loam surface (Rn,sl).
