North of Brentwood, South of Perimeter Hwy., | This site is classified as riverbottom forest habitat with |
West of St. Mary's Rd. | some oak forest habitat on the terrace. The site has a |

Kilkenny Forest 2 | 657 | disturbance noted at the time of inventory but only a few |
| weed species. Disturbance included the construction of |
| fire pits, the cutting down of trees for firewood, and the |
| maintenance of winding paths throughout the core of the |

| some species diversity despite the degree of unnatural |
| disturbances. However, overall species richness in the |
| site is low. |
