Rock fragments are mainly gravel but include up to 10 percent cobblestones and flagstones. Unless limed, the soil ranges from very strongly acid through moderately acid in the solum and strongly acid through neutral in the C horizon. Depth to carbonates range from 5 to 10 feet. The Ap horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 3 through 5, and chroma of 2 or 3. Texture of the fine-earth fraction ranges from sandy loam to silt loam.
Structure is weak or moderate granular.
The Bw horizon has hue of 7.5YR through 2.5Y, value of 4 or 5, chroma of 3 or 4, and has redoximorphic features. Texture of the fine-earth fraction ranges from sandy loam through silt loam. Structure is weak or moderate granular or subangular blocky. Consistence is very friable to firm. The BC horizon has hue of 7.5YR through 2.5Y, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 2 through 4.
