This hillside was cleared in 2007-2008 for a proposed golf course and housing development. A number of difficulties caused termination of the development and a portion of it still sits empty, used only by bikers, hikers and dog walkers. The surface is covered mainly with shale and this has made regeneration slow, but small trees, shrubs and grasses are slowly beginning to cover the area.
