Geography

Drostre Bank is an area measuring around Шаблон:Convert in Brecknock.[1] The site has been grazed by local farmlife since the 1970s, although Natural Resources Wales estimate that it may have started several decades earlier.[2] The woodland area is located between the villages of Llanfilo and Llechfaen.[3]

The Joint Nature Conservation Committee lists around 56% of the area as being made up of deciduous woodland. Around 37% is listed as humid grassland with the remaking area being made up of small percentages of dry grassland and water-based areas such as marshes, bogs and vegetation.[1] In 2014, the site was listed as a Special Area of Conservation under the European Union's Habitats Directive. The primary reason for the area's listing was the areas containing molinia caerulea, known as purple-moor grass, that provides habitat for wildlife.[1][4] Drostre Bank had previously been listed as a Site of Community Importance in 1995.[4]

A small, Iron Age-era hillfort is located on the site, measuring around Шаблон:Convert. It is located around Шаблон:Convert southwest of the village of Llanfilo. The hillfort is largely derelict with the western side having been overcome by vegetation. The eastern side of the fort maintains a small portion of the outer wall.[5][6]
