This report provides an overview of the natural near‐surface geology of the Cheshire Energy Research Field Site, located between Stanlow and Ince Marshes, to the east of Ellesmere Port. It adopts a conceptual predictive approach to reconstruct a geological model for the site based upon the range of geological processes and environments that are known to have operated in Britain and the northern Cheshire over recent geological time. The report describes the conceptual approach adopted before outlining the geological history of the area. Finally, an overview of the geological processes that have affected the Ince Marshes area is outlined and the likely occurrence of related geological features presented. The report assumes that the reader has a basic level of geological understanding so whilst the terminology employed is by necessity ‘technical’, terms and basic concepts are explained where appropriate. A non‐technical overview of this report is provided by the Executive Summary.
