Setchey SSSI is a 33.4-hectare (83-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of King's Lynn in Norfolk.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.[3]
This site throws light on sea level changes in the Holocene, the period since the end of the last ice age, 11,700 years ago. It is part of a network of Fenland sites which allows correlation across the area.[4]
