Ham Green SSSI
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox SSSI Ham Green SSSI (Grid reference Script error: No such module "Ordnance Survey coordinates".) is a 1.1 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest near the village of Ham Green, North Somerset, notified in 1990.
This is a Geological Conservation Review site.
The site shows a section through red-brown, gritty, stony silts, with abundant Greensand chert Pleistocene sediments. These deposits appear to be heavily cryoturbated terrace gravels of presumed fluvial origin, although a fluvio-glacial origin has also been suggested.[1]
A number of Acheulian handaxes have been found in the area.
