Gilberts Grave is a wooded railway-cutting locality associated with Clypeus ploti echinoids and fossiliferous Middle Jurassic limestone. Its weathered rock faces illustrate the shelly Clypeus Grit of the Cotswolds. Access must be confirmed before a visit: closure has been reported at Chedworth Nature Reserve, and the current route and collecting terms remain unverified. Jurassic, Disused Railway Cutting, Rating: ♦♦♦♦
This is a very dramatic location, but Rigg is one of the least visited fossils locations on Skye. The reason is that this is only for the experienced collector. It has a fascinating coastline of Lower and Middle Jurassic sediments. Rich in fossils, archaeology and local wildlife, Rigg is one of these places where safety and common sense must prevail.
