About
Bolter End Sand Pit is a 0.33-hectare (0.82-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest at Bolter End Common in Buckinghamshire.
The site is a disused pit with steep banks, overgrown, on private land with no public access. It is conserved as a marginal facies of the Reading Formation found in the Lane End area containing beds of quartz and lydite gravel not found elsewhere in the formation and capped by a rare outcropping of London Clay proving the inclusions are an original part of the sequence and not a later addition.
