Gravel of rnixed litholc�gy, but dorninated by shale fragments, typically malce up? <br /> to 3 percent of the volume of tEie series control s�ction, but the upper part of the prolile u� <br /> so►ne pedons co��tains less than 2 percent gravel. Rounded shale t1•agments dominate the <br /> coarse sand ti•action. Soil saturation occurs above a clepth of-�0 inches in 6 out of tQ <br /> years. <br /> The Ap or A horizon has hue of 1 OYR, value of 2 or 3 alid chroma of L or 2. ft is clay <br /> loam,silty clay loarn, Ioaril oT•silt loam.

The reaction stronaly acid to <br /> neutral. <br /> The 2BC horizon has properties similar to the 2C horizon. Some pedons have a 2I3K <br /> horizon. <br /> The 2C horizon has hue of 1dYR or 2.�Y, value of=4 oc�, and chroma oF 2 to �. [t is clay <br /> foam or loam. The reaction is slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline. <br /> CO�IP�TING S�ItILS: �i'here�tre no competin�series. <br /> G�OGRf1PHIC SETTI�IG: Kilkenny soils have plane and convex slopes on gently <br /> slopin�to steep end moraines af tf�e Des �loines Iobe of the Late `Visconsinan glaci3tian. <br /> Their slopes range t'ro«i ? to 35 �ercent.
