Habitat description from the Wildlife in Common Survey
Small oak (
Quercus robur) dominated woodland with, at times, dense holly (
Ilex aquifolium), blackthorn (
Prunus spinosa) and bramble (
Rubus fruticosa agg.) in shrub layer. Sloping down to the north, alder (
Alnus glutinosa) dominates in the damper woodland. There is occasional willow (
Salix sp.) and sycamore (
Acer pseudoplatanus). The damper area of woodland has rare angelica (
Angelica sylvestris), water mint (
Mentha aquatica) and occasional redcurrant (
Ribes rubrum).
Remote sedge (
Carex remota), soft rush (
Juncus effusus) and bittersweet (
Solanum dulcamara) occur in and around an old, dry pond. Broad buckler fern (
Dryopteris dilatata) is occasional.
The south of the site is drier, and in places has bracken (
Pteridium aquilinum), gorse (
Ulex europaeus) and broom (
Cytisus scoparius).
