Gortnasoale Glebe and Meenadoan ASSI is of Special Scientific interest because of its physiographical features and peatland flora and associated fauna. It is comprised of largely intact blanket bog within an upland area highly modified by afforestation, peat cutting and more recently the development of wind farms.

The area is characterised by undulating topography and the peatland complex consists of raised bog units on deeper peat within a more extensive blanket bog complex. The underlying geology is composed of carboniferous sandstones, shales and limestones, being part of the carboniferous limestone series.
