An area of woodland (57 hectares of which classified as semi-natural and the remaining 36 hectares classified as plantation) included in the Inventory of Ancient Woodland. The woodland historically covered a larger area, with an additional 4 hectares of land at the northern end of the wood being felled and cleared for agriculture at some point between 1905 and 1948. The remaining woodland may contain standing earthworks and buried remains related to its historic management and utilisation, such as wood banks, former saw pits, coppice stools, charcoal hearths, etc. {1}{2}{3}
