- PF: for the habitat types that can have a non-priority as well as a priority form (6210, 7130, 9430) enter "X" in the column PF to indicate the priority form.
- NP: in case that a habitat type no longer exists in the site enter: x (optional)
- Cover: decimal values can be entered
- Caves: for habitat types 8310, 8330 (caves) enter the number of caves if estimated surface is not available.
- Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation)

Other Site Characteristics
| A relatively large complex of oakwood developed on brown earth, brown podzolic & gleyed soils, situated on rocky slopes on either side of the River Sullane. Seepage zones, small watercourses, a narrow, rocky defile and areas of rock outcrop occur within the woodlands. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| Although partially degraded through the presence of exotic trees and an area of dense Rhododendron ponticum and Prunus laurocerasus, this wood is of value as a good example of old oak woodland. Notable for its particularly rich ground flora, including Saxifraga spathularis, Euphorbia hyberna and a range of bryophytes. It is also habitat for Geomalacus maculosus and foraging area for seven species of bat. |
