Three further non-statutory County Geodiversity sites (CGS) lie within the study area known as Great Pit at Newbourne, which has been given CGS status by GeoSuffolk because it is one of the very few fossiliferous Crag pits in Suffolk with public access. Newbourne Springs also designated for being an outcrop of Red Crag, and Claydon Church Lane Pit is designated for its artificial cliffs of white chalk formed from its previous use as a chalk extraction pit. CGSs are GeoSuffolk designations broadly in line with the Regionally Important Geological Sites (RIGs) criteria.
