273	C	Clay [Unlithified Deposits Coding Scheme] - A type of natural superficial deposit. The Unlithified Deposits Coding Scheme was developed as a way of coding unlithified deposits (also commonly referred to as superficial deposits, unconsolidated deposits, or engineering soils) that is consistent with civil engineering industry usage (BS5930).
