Summary edit

Description
English: Woodland south of the River Yare. These trees grow on the eastern edge of the Bramerton Pits > 1368311 - a wooded hillside adjoining Bramerton Common at Woods End, above the southern bank of the River Yare. The site consists of a 12 metres thick layer of shelly silts and sands which has given its name to an early Pleistocene glacial stage called Bramertonian Stage. Bramerton Pits is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is regarded as a key reference locality. The fossil marine shells indicate that sea levels were much higher when these sediments were deposited here. A variety of fossil animals including marine fishes, extinct voles, a gomphotene mastodont and an extinct otter have been found on the site which has been excavated on several occasions.
