FULL DESCRIPTION OF SITE (including topography, adjacent land use, access and boundaries etc.):

An isolated site, lying 2 km away from the nearest main settlement of Llanhilleth. The site is dominated by coniferous plantation woodland and includes a disused opencast site with steep quarry faces, steep spoil slopes and pools. Other habitats include flat lying bare ground and tracks. The site extends eastwards across the unitary boundary authority into Torfaen. The site is partially fenced, with old stock fencing in evidence along the southern boundary with the road. Two tracks run east-west through the wooded part of the site. The roadside entrances to these have been covered with brash/fallen trees probably with the intention to limit fly tipping which is an obvious problem. Plantation woodland is the most extensive vegetation type across the site. Lodegpole Pine (Pinus contorta ),) is closely planted with little ground vegetation beneath, with the exception of bryophyte cover which is high in many places. A large deep pool sites fills the former quarry. The steep south facing quarry face at the north of the site supports lodgepole pine, goat willow ( Salix caprea ), silver birch ( Betula pendula ), male fern ( Dryopteris filix- mas ) and gorse within its ledges and cracks. Some ledges appear to support an acid grassland/heath community, although this was not examined closely. The ledges and cracks and small cliff face seepages may potentially support interesting plants and ferns (no access possible for closer survey). A steep spoil slope on the southern side of the floor of the cut supports a pioneer acid grassland community, with areas of bare loose spoil, large stones. Mosses are a fairly consistent feature as well as localised lichens. A single orange waxcap was recorded here. Through the floor of the cut a track links the site entrance with a large, deep pool. Vegetation cover and height is patchy. In the vicinity of the track poorly draining areas support shallow patches of standing water and marshy vegetation; aquatic species include pondweed, water-starwort and water-crowfoot species. An underground spring feeds two linked pools lying within a steep sided hollow at the sites’ southern perimeter. Marshy/flush vegetation borders and extends out from these pools with Juncus effusus (soft rush) and Glyceria fluitans (floating sweet grass) frequent. Sphagnum sp. is also locally extensive, which together with other bryophytes (inc Polytrichum sp .) creates damp cushions of moss at the edges of the northern pool. Bryophytes were frequently encountered across the site and gill fungi were locally frequent alongside the woodland paths. 2

Official Use Only: Site selected as a Wildlife Site/SINC? YES NO Date:

Please state the section(s) of the Wildlife Site Guidelines that this site qualifies under: Section S2) Birds Tirpentwys Cut qualifies as SINC quality due to the presence of a number of important breeding birds. A breeding bird survey was not part of this baseline screening survey for this candidate LDP site, however personal reports & records reports ( GOS members) advocate the site qualifies as a SINC under Section S2) Birds , particularly on the basis of its peregrine falcon, long eared owl, hobby and common snipe.

Peregrine falcon, hobby and common snipe are ‘list A’ species’ within the criteria (Table 9 breeding birds of conservation significance list) indicating species that are of such significance to allow the designation of a SINC. The coniferous woodland is also important for long eared owls; an ‘A list’ species on both the breeding birds and wintering and passage birds lists.

The site is also important for a variety of other birds considered of conservation importance within S2) Birds, including curlew, lapwing, merlin, crossbill, kestrel, bullfinch, reed bunting, linnet, song thrush and woodcock. Please see table 1 below for a list of these and consideration against SINC criteria.

To further strengthen justification of the site as a SINC, under Section S2) Birds , further survey to assess breeding bird interest/full collation of existing records within the last 5years is recommended.

Section H1) Woodlands As detailed in the criteria the coniferous woodland supports important bird species which individually qualify under Section S2) Birds.

Section H12) Bog Habitats & Flushes Small area of relatively unmodified flush habitat adjacent to spring in south of site.

The site supports an important mosaic of habitats including bare ground, open water, flush vegetation, inland cliff, spoil, grassland and plantation that together are potentially valuable to invertebrate, amphibians and reptile communities (possibly including adder, slow worm) and this should be further examined. The sunny south facing cliff habitat presents nesting for peregrine falcons and the ledges here may also be valuable for plant communities. The ponds are likely of SINC quality and warrant further specialist survey.

With additional survey and establishment of the presence of dependent species of interest, the site may also qualify under: Sections H16) Standing Open Water, H21) Rock Exposures, H20) Mosaic Habitats & Common Land and H18) Mineral Spoil Tips & Other Post Industrial Land.

Bryophytes are also a consistent part of the site and further survey should be sought to determine local importance, particularly in relation to observed communities on the spoil banks and cliff face.

Survey date: 17th April 2007 Surveyed by: Dr Peter Sturgess (Hyder Consulting Ltd.)

(UDP policy reference: C11.110)

Summary description A northwest-facing slope supporting a mix of conifer plantation and patches of broadleaved woodland. The majority of the canopy comprises Larch and Pine with old Beech trees dominating the broadleaved areas. The ground flora is generally sparse with Wavy hair-grass, Bilberry and Wood sorrel. However, some of the steeper slopes, particularly near paths, support patches of acid grassland and flush species. The most northerly margin supports a Bracken, heath and acid grassland with scattered Birch scrub. Young Birch-dominated scrub woodland is also developing in the west of the site, where conifer plantation has been felled.

Qualifying features Semi-natural woodland with an assemblage of indicator species.

Replanted woodland retaining a range of semi-natural woodland indicator species. Acid grassland and heath supporting at least 7 indicator species.

Secondary features Bracken. Conifer plantation.

Potential value/ unconfirmed features Likely to provide foraging and roosting opportunities for bats. The more open heath and scrub areas and woodland margins have potential to support reptiles. The flushes on slopes have potential to support locally significant bryophyte species. The area is likely to support a good range of breeding woodland birds.

Current management (including problems and opportunities for biodiversity enhancement) The majority of the area is managed as forestry. There has been recent felling in the western side of the site and at present the felled area appears to be being left to regenerate naturally, which is likely to be very beneficial for biodiversity. In general, the removal of dense conifers would enhance biodiversity of the site. The remnants of semi-natural woodland should be retained and a natural vegetation cover should be allowed to develop in the areas currently supporting conifers. The northern parts of the slopes supporting heath vegetation appear to be lightly grazed by sheep, but Bracken and scrub control would be beneficial here.

Access/ community use The area is crossed by a public footpath and forestry track.

Additional information The site includes areas of coniferous plantation, which do not meet SINC criteria in their own right, but have been included because they form part of the whole wooded area. The habitat structure and ground flora of these areas is likely to improve if the plantations are thinned or felled and replanted with broadleaved trees. The SINC boundary may need to be revised following any future woodland management. The woodland adjoining the western boundary may support a similar quality habitat as that present within the SINC. These should be considered at future review.

SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST CITATION

TORFAEN TY’R HEN FORWYN

Date of Notification: 31 October 2008

National Grid Reference: ST 237 998

OS Maps: 1:50,000 Sheet number: 171 1:10,000 Sheet number: ST 29 NW

Site Area: 4.75 ha

Description:

Ty’r Hen Forwyn is of special interest for its species-rich neutral grassland and for the association of this habitat with others including acid grassland, scrub, bracken and well-developed hedgerows.

The site is also of special interest for its large population of nationally scarce wood bitter-vetch Vicia orobus, an uncommon and declining grassland plant.

Ty’r Hen Forwyn consists of four fields, divided by large mature hedgerows. The site is situated adjacent to the unenclosed upland of Cefn-crib and 500m north of Cefn-crib village. All fields are free-draining, gently to moderately sloping, and have a westerly aspect at an altitude of between 320m and 350m. The underlying geology is Upper Pennant Measures the rocks consisting of sandstones and coal measure mudstones.

Species rich neutral grassland can be found throughout and is characterised by a high herb cover. Common bird’s foot trefoil Lotus corniculatus and common knapweed Centaurea nigra occur frequently together with grasses such as crested dog’s tail Cynosurus cristatus, common bent Agrostis capillaris , sweet vernal-grass Anthoxanthum odoratum and red fescue Festuca rubra .

Accompanying herbs include common cat’s-ear Hypochoeris radicata , yellow rattle Rhinanthus minor , eyebright Euphrasia sp , oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare, Bitter vetch, Lathyrus linifolius , and rough hawkbit Leontodon hispidus .

In places, where there is a slightly acid or nutrient-poor nature to the soil, neutral grassland grades into vegetation more associated with acid grassland. Here, heath grass Danthonia decumbens , devil’s-bit scabious, Succisa pratensis , tormentil Potentilla erecta and heath bedstraw Galium saxatile can be found.

Although acid grassland is generally a habitat of the uplands and upland fringe, in places at Ty’r Hen Forwyn it can have a marked ‘lowland’ character.

These areas can be particularly species-rich, with plants such as bird’s foot trefoil, autumn hawkbit Leontodon autumnalis and common knapweed.

Ty’r Hen Forwyn is also of special interest for its large population of wood bitter-vetch. The site is thought to have the best population in the Gwent AoS . It is found frequently throughout the south-west corner of the eastern field. The next largest population found in South Wales is at Markham, which has recently declined in numbers, making Ty’r Hen Forwyn an important stronghold for the plant.

Ty’r Hen Forwyn has a number of other habitats that add to the ecological diversity of the site. These include scrub, semi-improved grassland and mature, well-developed hedgerows.

Remarks:

Ty’r Hen Forwyn includes the following UK Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Habitats: Lowland meadow and Lowland dry acid grassland.
