The site includes an extensive stand of juniper "Juniperus communis", privet "Ligustrum vulgare", buckthorn "Rhamnus catharticus", rose "Rosa spp.", bramble "Rubus spp.", wayfaring tree "Viburnum lantana" and hawthorn ("Crataegus monogyna") and whitebeam "Sorbus aria", which covers circa 20 ha to the west-facing slopes. There is little evidence of juniper regeneration (and some moribund bushes) and the site is probably witnessing a transition from juniper to a mixed scrub community, with the early indications of an eventual succession of woodland. The scrub is unusual on the chalk in lacking a yew "Taxus baccata" and ash "Fraxinus excelsior" component.
