Pit of Early Diggers

Memorial


In this pit the early diggers removed 4m of Hutton Sands to get to the underlying diamond-bearing Younger Gravels. That layer was the mined futher by means of small horizontal tunnels that are sometimes over 10m long

An Early Stone Age archaeological site with open air displays and historical walk on the geology, archaeology and diamond diggings of the area. Two of the world¹s largest handaxes were found here.
