Clock House Brickworks is a 35.9-hectare (89-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of CapelinSurrey.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.[3]

The pit exposes temperate and subtropical palaeoenvironments of the Lower Cretaceous Weald Clay Group. The site is particularly important for its several thousand fossil insects, including the first described social insect, a termite. There are also aquatic plants, fish and reptiles.[4]

The site is private land with no public access.
