Fymore Lough ASSI

Situated in an inter-drumlin wetland this small mesotrophic lake with its rich aquatic macrophyte (a member of the macroscopic plant life of an area) assemblage and marginal swamp is fringed by a mosaic of notable vegetation communities.

To the south the lake is fringed by swamp woodland with fen meadow and reedbed stands covering a remnant pocket of peatland to the west.
Seepage (slow escape) out of calcareous-rich water along the base of the drumlin slope along the north side results in the notable presence of base-rich flush and fen vegetation here.

In addition to being one of the most diverse botanical sites in Tyrone it is also the most diverse for invertebrates so far recorded.
