- PF: for the habitat types that can have a non-priority as well as a priority form (6210, 7130, 9430) enter "X" in the column PF to indicate the priority form.
- NP: in case that a habitat type no longer exists in the site enter: x (optional)
- Cover: decimal values can be entered
- Caves: for habitat types 8310, 8330 (caves) enter the number of caves if estimated surface is not available.
- Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation)

- Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
- Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)

Other Site Characteristics
| An area of lowland blanket bog situated on a peninsula in the sheltered marine inlet of Bellacragher Bay, with a range of typical natural features including small lakes, pool systems, streams, flushes, swallow holes, islands and natural drains. Boulder shingle beaches, salt marsh and marine waters form a natural boundary to the site on three sides. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| This largely intact blanket bog supports a high diversity of typical features. Of particular note is the unusually intact zonation and transition from blanket bog vegetation to salt marsh on peat and shingle beach. The site supports the protected Lycopodiella inundata and the uncommon Erica erigena. The site is visited by Lutra lutra which has a presence in Bellacragher Bay. |
