A mainly grassland site near Peterborough, proposed to the SPNR as a location for scarce insects and plants, badgers and 'pole-cats'. The site was subsequently ploughed for the war effort and has since been quaried for its stone, with the result that the original grassland has been destroyed although some botanical traces may remain in one of the disused quarries, which forms an outlying part of Castor Hanglands National Nature Reserve.
