Erica tetralix
Mainly restricted to the southern part of the site, gorse scrub occurs in patches of varying sizes bordered by both bog and grassland. It has been extending into the bog area in recent years. Dominants plants include gorse ("Ulex europaeus"), cross-leaved heath ("Erica tetralix") in wet patches, bell heather ("Erica cinerea"), heather ("Calluna vulgaris") and bramble ("[Rubus fruticosus"). Other species of note include broom ("[Cystisus scoparius") and bracken ("Pteridium aquilinum").
