| Description: | Cherry Gardens Farm, 1/2 m. east of Chegworth Court, Harrietsham. Looking west. A spring at the junction of Hythe Beds and Atherfield Clay. The spring is issuing at the junction of Hythe Beds, an open-jointed, highly permeable formation, and Atherfield Clay, brought to the surface as an inlier on the Hythe Beds dip-slope. The bank rising at the left of the photograph, and continuing as the feature running across the field in the distance limits the outcrop of the Hythe Beds, overlying the Atherfield Clay, which occupies the lower ground to the right. The Hythe Beds and the Atherfield Clay are Cretaceous in age. Springs form where the water table meets the ground surface. This often occurs where the water table has been forced to the surface by impermeable rocks such as the Atherfield Clay. |
