The majority of the site overlies old limestone workings, resulting in uneven terrain.[1] FloraThe grassland is unimproved and varies according to depth of soil, angle of the slope and the aspect. This is an area which is grazed by sheep or cattle.[1] The site supports the nationally rare perfoliate pennycress and other rare plant life such as Curtis' mouse-ear, early gentian, field fleawort and burnt orchid.[1] The Natural England assessment report of July 2011 indicates the range of orchid species expected for the site.[4] InvertebratesThe site is also important for its butterflies and recorded are such species as green hairstreak.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 Natural England SSSI information on the citation 2. ^Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan to 2011, adopted March 2006, Appendix 3 'Nature Conservation', Sites of Special Scientific Interest 3. ^Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan to 2011, adopted March 2006, Appendix 3 'Nature Conservation', Key Wildlife Sites 4. ^Natural England SSSI information on the Hornsleasow Roughs unit SSSI Source
