    Largalinny is a complex site with a variety of interests. Geological interest relates to the Upper Visean Glenade Sandstone Formations and Upper Visean Limestone Formations with rich silicified fossil fauna (the latter around Carrick Lough). Physiographical interest relates to the scarp and dip control of slope.

    Botanical interest relates to the complex mosaic of habitats present, including heathland, oligotrophic and mesotrophic waterbodies and in particular, broad-leaved semi-natural woodland. Rare species include rare higher plants, and notable lichen and bryophyte communities. In addition, there are notable assemblages of Odonata and Lepidoptera.
