Former chalk quarry that ceased operations in the 1960s and has since been largely reclaimed and transformed into a nature reserve. The provided coordinates pinpoint one of the remaining chalk quarry walls. The site is notable for the discovery of large marcasite/pyrite nodules, which show heavy oxidation. Additionally, a calciner, still present on the site, has been designated as a listed monument.
