Rodborough Common

Rodborough Common is a biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1954.〔(Natural England SSSI information on the citation )〕 The site is listed in the ‘Stroud District’ Local Plan, adopted November 2005, Appendix 6 (online for download) as an SSSI and a Regionally Important Geological Site (RIGS).〔( Stroud District Local Plan, adopted November 2005, Appendix 6 ‘Sites of Nature Conservation Interest’ )〕 The Common is also a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the EU Habitats Directive 〔(Information on Rodborough Common Special Area of Conservation designation )〕〔(Joint Nature Conservation Committee Listing of Special Areas of Conservation )〕 and a Local Nature Reserve.
Rodborough Common is sited south of Stroud and is owned and managed by the National Trust. It is north of Minchinhampton Common. It lies on Jurassic Limestone and is on top of the Cotswold scarp. It is bounded on either side by the Nailsworth valley and the Frome valley. It is on a hill (a plateau area), and its margins are dissected by dry valleys. The sides of this plateau are steep.〔
Rodborough Common, like Minchinhampton Common, is notified for its biological and geological importance. The grassland is unimproved, ''herb-rich'' and calcareous. There is an important geological area for fossils for research purposes.〔
==Geology==
There are old quarry workings which are near Rodborough Fort. These contain exposures of Inferior Oolite Limestones of the Middle Jurassic Period. The fossils are numerous in the strata, and provide many species. Of particular interest are bivalve molluscs, and these were first defined from specimens collected on this site. The site is particularly significant as it is the only remaining one in the region. It is close to the southern edge of the Middle Inferior Oolite. This is cut out beneath the overlying Upper Trigonia Grit (across the common and to the south). In research terms this shows the effects of earth movements on the local succession.〔
