This recently cleared pit at Capel Green provides an excellent opportunity to collect Red Crag Shells. It is next to the road, disused but has two large clear faces full of shells. In addition, shells can be collected from the quarry floor or nearby heap. Evidence of cross bedding is also clearly visible.
Molluscs, bone fragments
“Capel Green is to the South of Butley, and to the West of Butley Abbey. When driving from the north, the pit can be found along the road, just after the crossroads. You will see a signpost ""Quarry Workings"", with plenty of places to park nearby. You can access the quarry from the roadside, the first face is visible from the road, but the second face is round the corner of the first. Both faces are full of shells. The quarry is on the edge of Rendlesham Forest."
