Ladle Hill as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1978. Ladle Hill typifies a calcareous grassland chalk downland habitat now scarce in Britain, and is home to some unusual and rare species. The earthwork in particular is very rich in species, with a good range of downland grasses and large populations of rare and local plants such as field fleawort, "Senecio integrifolius"; chalk milkwort, "Polygala calcarea"; hairy rock-cress, "Arabis hirsuta"; fragrant orchid, "Gymnadenia conopsea"; and pyramidal orchid, "Anacamptis pyramidalis". The earthwork escarpment slopes, though species-rich, support fewer species than within the fort, but some, notably clustered bellflower, "Campanula glomerata", only
