Wansunt Pit, Nature reserve and geological site in Dartford Heath, United Kingdom

Wansunt Pit extends across 1.9 hectares of land between Crayford in the London Borough of Bexley and Dartford in Kent.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed stone tools of Homo Heidelbergensis dating from 424,000 to 374,000 years ago.

The location forms part of Braeburn Park, managed by London Wildlife Trust, contributing to scientific research and geological understanding.

The site contains two separate units, with one section crossing Galloway Drive and another northwest of Denton Road that remains closed to access.

The exposed Dartford Heath Gravel at this location provides essential data about the relationship with Swanscombe sequence and Thames Terraces.
