West Hoathly is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the county of West Sussex, England, near the village of Sharpthorne.
The site is an active brickclay pit which has exposed 9 metres (30 ft) of sediments which reveal a gradual change from silty deposits to non silty. Its importance lies within its position within the London-Brabant Massif, at a possible gap through which the Boreal Sea may have flowed.
