Campfield Kettle Hole

Campfield Kettle Hole is the name given to a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in north Northumberland, England.

[1][2] The kettle hole has deep waterlogged peat soils supporting a carr woodland of birch (Betula sp.)

), and hare’s-tail cotton grass (Eriophorum vaginatum) with purple moor-grass (Molinia caerulea) and wavy hair-grass (Deschampsia flexuosa).

The uncommon beetle Agabus uliginosus dispar has been recorded from the wetter areas of the site.

[2] The condition of Campfield Kettle Hole was judged to be unfavourable-recovering in 2013, with previous concerns about tree encroachment settled.
