Neutral Farm Pit, Butley is a 1.1-hectare (2.7-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Butley, east of Woodbridge in Suffolk.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site,[3] and is in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[4]
This is described by Natural England as a classic site in the study of the Early Pleistocene in East Anglia. It was used by the nineteenth-century geologist Frederick W. Harmer to define his Butley division of the Red Crag Formation, and it has many fossils of marine molluscs.[5]
There is access to the site from Mill Lane.
