Kenn Church, Kenn Pier & Yew Tree Farm SSSI (grid reference ST415689) is a 15.37 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest near the village of Kenn, Somerset, notified in 1997.
The site is listed in the Geological Conservation Review because it consists of a complex sequence of Pleistocene sediments, including coarse glacial outwash gravels at the base overlain by a complex sequence of interglacial freshwater, estuarine and marine sands. The sequence is then capped by aeolian (windblown) coversands and Holocene silts.[1]
