Lenham Quarry is a 4-hectare (9.9-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Lenham in Kent.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.[3]
This site has been assigned to the Pliocene on the basis of its gastropod, bivalve and serpulid worm fossils. It is important because there are few exposures dating from this period in Britain.[4]
There is access to the site from Hubbards Hill.
