| Description: | Oblique aerial view of Newton Hill, Newton Hill. Looking south-east towards North Straiton (west pit), Fife Region. It is operated by Scottish Aggregates Limited mainly for gravels. A lagoon or settling pit is in the foreground. The pit is worked in an esker. It is worked for bedded medium, coarse and very coarse, subrounded to round gravel in a reddish-brown, variably coarse, sandy matrix. The maximum-known thickness is 40 metres, the working faces show about 24 metres of sediments. The production of sand exceeds that of gravel. In this area of the north-east of Fife there are extensive resources of sand and gravel of various types. Large quantities of moundy fluvioglacial, raised beach and deltaic sand and gravel and blown sand occur. |
