Talk:Burnett, Somerset

? civil parish
This article describes Burnett as a civil parish however I don't believe that is the case any longer. The reference here is a transcript of a record from 1868. I believe it may be part of Compton Dando parish based on the English Heritage record for the church. The BANES population list doesn't include Burnett as a separate parish.&mdash; Rod talk 21:41, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This source says that Burnett is a civil parish with an acreage of 68 acres. However, the church may be associated Compton Dando for some other reason. In fact, Burnett might even be a hamlet by the size of it. Jaguar (talk) 21:56, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That source doesn't tell us where it came from. Calling the county Somersetshire makes it at least 50 years old. Bath and North East Somerset includes a full current list.&mdash; Rod talk 22:17, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I have found a new source. This source here describes Burnett as a seperate parish from Compton Dando, however, this is 119 years old. Jaguar (talk) 22:30, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The parish was abolished in 1933 according to Vision of Britain Relationships / unit history of BURNETT.&mdash; Rod talk 22:45, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. The current Geography section for Burnett, Somerset, is correct only for a very limited area of the parish. Can I suggest the alternative below?

Geography
The rocks underlying Burnett Village and the immediately surrounding fields are the limestones and shales of the Lias Group. The village itself is underlain by Blue Lias limestones, while the White Lias is found in the fields to the immediate south and west. A prominent Fault system runs approximately east-west just to the north of the village (an extension of the Newton fault, ), and the two rises on Burnett Hill (B3116) represent the eroded scarps of two branches of this fault. In contrast, the steady include of the B116 from Burnett south to the Two Headed Man juntion with the A39 represents the geological dip of the top of the Blue Lias.

The steep slope marking the edge of the Chew Valley, immediately west of Burnett village, is an erosional scarp through the softer red and green shales of the Triassic Mercia Mudstone.

The fields in the bottom of the valley, north of the Burnett Fault, are underlain by the Supra- Pennant Measures of the Carboniferous period, represented by the Pensford Syncline coal basin, which formed part of the Somerset coalfield. It is a complex formation containing coal seams and is made up of clay and shales. Coal was locally worked near Burnett in the past. South of the fault, towards Compton Dando, the red colour of the fields suggests that the valley is underlain by the Mercia Mudstone. In the floodplain of the river there are alluvial deposits of clay soils.
