Ecology
The site is a designated Site of Nature Conservation Interest, and supports urban mammals such as foxes, deer and squirrels, together with a wide range of birds. Notable invertebrates are also present such as the micro moth Commophila aenaena which is scarce nationally, and the lesser stag beetle. Slow worms have bred here for numerous years, and bats hunt over the site. The creation of the dew pond has resulted in dragonflies visiting the area.
Trees and wildflowers have been planted in The Field and Upper Slopes.
