Rixey Park site entrance
The site was a claypit but is now a growing mound of clay waste from Southacre Quarry to the south
Image and, judging by this view, other quarries. Shaping, soil-spreading and planting are happening in places. Seen from the Chudleigh Road, B3193, north of the central group of claypits.
