The site was on well-drained estuarine sands. Above the undisturbed natural sand was a mixed yellow sand and brown silty-loam subsoil, which formed the pre-Roman ground surface. This surface sloped down fairly gently and steadily from around 6.5m OD at the north end of the site to about 4.3m OD towards the south-west.
