These soils have developed on Quaternary unconsolidated material, generally of aeolian origin in the North West Dunefields and Plains, in swales, flats or plains amongst the dunefields. Soils are generally whole coloured, but some may have yellow subsoils with red mottling or red/brown deep subsoil. The soils have acidic surfaces with alkaline subsoils.
