This site has a large area of common reed on peat, and there is also wet woodland, dominated by crack willow. Natural England's citation for the site states that it is 'exceptionally rich' in species of butterflies and moths, including several locally uncommon species. In the south of the site there are two wet grazed meadows and more woodland.[4][3]
The entrance to the site is at the northern end of the local recreation ground, which is off Leicester Road.
