Bramerton Pits

Bramerton Pits is a Site of Special Scientific Interest north of the village of Bramerton in Norfolk on the southern banks of the River Yare, where the Norwich 'Crag' comes to the surface:

The area has given its name to an early Pleistocene glacial stage used in the British Isles called Bramertonian Stage distinctive by the presence of shelly, sandy deposits indicative of a temporate climate. Fossil marine fish, extinct voles and otters and a mastodont have been found and the area has been excavated many times over the years.
