Other Site Characteristics
| A turlough basin bordered by pasture and cutover bog. The outlines are smoothed by glacial drift with a small outcrop of the bedrock at the eastern end. The floor is flat with a number of depressions which may take water movement. Much of the upper vegetation has a heathy character reflecting the proportion of sand in the local drift. |
4.2 Quality and importance
| The habitat is rather uniform though the vegetation that is there is well developed and not currently overgrazed. The importance of the site stems largely from its northerly location and the sand content of the soil which is fairly unusual. There is little if any precipitation of calcium carbonate. |
