The majority of the site is made up of species-rich grassland (subcommunity MG5c), which comprises three dominant species of grass and several other grass species at lower abundances. The dominant species are Red Fescue ("Festuca rubra"), Common Bent ("Agrostis capillaris") and Yorkshire Fog ("Holcus lanatus"). The less abundant species of grass include, Crested Dog's-tail ("Cynosurus cristatus"), Heath-grass ("Danthonia decumbens") and Cocksfoot ("Dactylis glomerata"). The subcommunity also has many broad-leaved herbs including Common Knapweed ("Centaurea nigra"), Tormentil ("Potentilla erecta"), Devils-bit scabious ("Succisa pratensis") and Betony ("Stachys officinalis").
