Boreholing Phase Commences

In order to determine the presence of the Boxgrove palaeolandsurface within the threatened areas of the Quarry a series of boreholes will be sunk this week to map the subsurface geology. A team from West Wight Drilling have been hired to undertake this work using a standard Dando percussion rig. 5-6 boreholes should be all that is required to create, when combined with exisiting data sets, a local geological model of the area.
