The meadows overlie the alluvium and gravels of the Thames floodplain.[1] SpeciesThe grassland included meadow foxtail and great burnet and supports a rich flora. This is a nationally important meadow area, and supports the nationally rare fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) and the rare downy-fruited sedge (Carex tomentose). The population of fritillary is the largest reported in Gloucestershire.[1] To the north of Cricklade, in the county of Wiltshire, is North Meadow which is both an SSSI and a national nature reserve (NNR) which supports some 80% of the British population of fritillary. The small area of scrub on the site is dominated by grey willow and crack willow and supports a large number of typical wetland species. It is the only known site for tufted-sedge (Carex elatain) in Gloucestershire.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 Natural England SSSI information on the citation 2. ^Cotswold District Local Plan, Appendix 1, Sites of Special Scientific Interest {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120326123052/http://www.localplan.cotswold.gov.uk/localplan/text/texta1.htm |date=March 26, 2012 }} 3. ^Cotswold District Local Plan, Appendix 2, Key Wildlife Sites {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131013215021/http://www.localplan.cotswold.gov.uk/localplan/text/texta2.htm |date=October 13, 2013 }} SSSI Source
