A single plant on the verge between Centre Road and the Flats ditch, which had been severely burnt earlier in the year.

In June 1998 a number of plants appeared when football pitches (square I5) were left unmown for a short time . These were near an isolated hawthorn shrub just W. of the trees by the corner of the nearby walls. They were tentatively identified as L. bienne, Pale Flax.
