Type
One of the smallest SSSI sites in Britain, which protects the greater horseshoe bat.
This site is designated for its biological features, in particular: the Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (greater horseshoe bat). SSSIs in Wales have been notified for a total of 142 different animal species and 191 different plant species.
Greater horseshoe bats require warm, safe roosts in which to raise their young, with plenty of suitable feeding habitat nearby. The period of greatest bat activity at this roost is between May and the end of August.

gollark: I... see.
