Description
Wildlife
The well-developed roughland consists of a mosaic of hawthorn and bramble scrub and false oatgrass dominated grassland, where the locally scarce hairy St John's-wort can be found. The north slope supports a variety of ruderal plants. The site supports suitable habitat for breeding garden birds and invertebrates. Kestrels regularly hunt over the site, suggesting the presence of small mammals and/or reptiles.Facilities
