The farm shows mass movement of rock and soil on a shallow 8% slope of London Clay, which is evident in ridges across the site. It may be the lowest angled slope failure in Britain, and is significant in demonstrating slope degradation in the absence of coastal erosion.[4]

A public footpath crosses the site.[2]
