Description
40 deneholes. (Col Mus map probably inaccurate).
Reference to Essex Naturalist <4>, does not mention this site, but refers to Grays Chalk Pit, with section of denehole at around 598792.
Reference to <5>, Church Wall's chalk pit-more than 8 dene holes, this could be the same pit as above.
A phone conservation with Mark Davies indicated there was "probably inaccurate cross on Colchester Museum Map". <1> <2> <3> <4> <5> <6>
Possibly some confusion with TQ57-015, EHER 5035 as 40 dene holes are also mentioned there.
