Hi Meridith,
In Southampton peat deposits have been found in docks excavations and boreholes in the intertidal zone. I record peat as a monument indexed as monument type PEAT DEPOSIT (which appears as a candidate term in the monument type thesaurus used in HBSMR). I also record other natural deposits in this way, for instance estuarine deposits. This might not be a "correct" use of the monument type thesaurus but it is useful to be able to record such deposits.
