Where to look for Fossils at Writhlington?


(Writhlington Spoil Heap) - 2007

You need to follow the footpath all the way until you reach a 'T' junction which also climbs a 45 degree slope. Just before the start of this slope, a footpath veers left into some woods and into an opening. Follow this footpath through the opening and up the mound. You will come to a large clearance of spoil. Search for fossils in the blocks and also dig the spoil.

You can also search the areas around the clearance as these areas are more likely to yield fossils as they are less likely to have been picked by collectors.
