Chillesford, Suffolk (TM 390508)
This pit is excavated into the flank of a small hill about 1.5 km south of Chillesford. About 4 m of Red Crag can be seen, divisible into three units: unit 1 consists of medium to coarse, tabular cross-bedded sands containing abundant shell fragments; unit 2, which truncates unit 1, is a lens of bioturbated finer-grained, sands with mud drapes; while unit 3 comprises trough cross-bedded shelly sands with a pebbly lag of flints, phosphatic pebbles and clay clasts at its base. The sequence can be interpreted as shallowing upwards.
