This sandy arable field has been designated an SSSI because of its large population of a nationally endangered plant,red-tipped cudweed.This was formerly a common weed on arable fields, but it has been in sharp decline since the 1960s. The colonies in the site and neighbouring fields may represent as much as 50% of the British population.[3]
