This Sheet Description details the geology of north-east Hampshire around Winchester and Stockbridge (Sheet 299). The district covers an area from Winchester and the M3 motorway in the east to the Hampshire–Wiltshire border (10 km east of Salisbury) in the west. It stretches from near Andover (and the A303 trunk road) in the north, to near Romsey in the south. The district is founded for the greater part on the Chalk with Palaeogene strata preserved in the south. The broad shallow slopes, and short, steep scarps, characteristic of the strata of the area, are cross-cut by the north-south-oriented Itchen and Test valleys, which split the area into two major interfluves.
