Evidence has been found of flint-knapping using the Levallois technique by Neanderthals 200,000 years ago, and it has even been possible to fit back together some of the flint flakes. Fossils have been found of mammals including, rhinoceros, bison, mammoth and straight-tusked elephant.[5] A public footpath goes through the site from Weymouth Drive to London Road.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1004015.pdf |title=Lion Pit citation|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 3 August 2016}} {{Commons category|Lion Pit}}{{coord| 51.4806| 0.301|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}{{SSSIs Essex}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=sssiIndex&query=HYPERLINK%3D%271004015%27 |title=Map of Lion Pit|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 3 August 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|url= http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=4174&gcr=530 |title= Lion Pit Tramway Cutting (West Thurrock) (Quaternary of the Thames) |publisher=Joint Nature Conservation Committee|accessdate= 3 August 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.essexwt.org.uk/reserves/chafford-gorges |title=Chafford Gorges Nature Park |publisher=Essex Wildlife Trust|accessdate= 3 August 2016}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|url= http://www.essexfieldclub.org.uk/portal/p/Geology+Site+Account/s/Lion+Pit+Tramway+Cutting+SSSI/o/Lion+Pit+Tramway+Cutting+SSSI |title= Lion Pit Tramway Cutting SSSI|publisher= Essex Field Club|accessdate= 3 August 2016}} 2 : Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Essex|Geological Conservation Review sites |
