From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sylvan House Barn (grid reference SO534023) is a stone built barn near the village of St Briavels, in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Because of its breeding bats, the site was notified as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1995.
Sylvan House Barn supports a breeding roost of Lesser Horseshoe bats which consists of one fifth of the known Gloucestershire breeding population, and has been deemed by English Nature to be of national importance. The notified site consists of the roofspace of the barn and the roof of an adjacent lean-to, in total an area of 0.005 hectares.
