Sandpit Hole and Bishop's Lot (gbmapping|ST531498) is a 1.8 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Somerset, notified in 1987.
This site consists of two of the largest isolated depressions, known as dolines, occurring in the Mendip limestone area, and both appear to have been formed by the limestones being dissolved by subterranean waters and the overlying rocks then collapsing into them.
