Radiocarbon dates indicate the peat to be of early to mid-Holocene age. These dates, along with the stratigraphy of sections logged in the 1930s, demonstrate that the peat pre-dates the maximum relative height of the Holocene transgression. Few details of the sub-peat stratigraphy are available but aeolian dune sands and another peat bed have been recorded. All these materials suggest the site has undergone a complex Holocene evolution.
