Aughertree fossils

Following a previous visit to Aughertree fell Click here we returned today in slightly better weather! We found a total of 15 species ...and interestingly a definite flake of flint. Once again the five yard limestone yielded good, albeit small, specimens. We also recorded both great-crested, palmate newt and common toad.
