Cull-Peppers Dish ( grid reference SY814926) is a 0.9-hectare (2.2-acre) sinkhole and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Dorset, notified in 1989. [1]
The name of the site and that of the nearby Culpeper's Spoon were possibly named after the herbalist Nicholas Culpeper. [2] Locally legends attribute the pits to the devil [3] and another pit near by is named Devil 's or Hell 's Pit. [2]
The site is used in Thomas Hardy's novel The Return of the Native as the place where Mrs Wildeve collects holly for a wreath. [3]
