Moneygal Bog SAC
It is set within a landscape which has largely been improved for agricultural use. A bog burst that occurred in 1910 has resulted in a soak surrounded by a large pool system which extends to the centre of the bog. The pools are arranged concentrically around the site of the soak and represent one of the best raised bog pool systems in Northern Ireland. In addition, a number of notable plant species have been recorded including Sphagnum imbricatum and S. fuscum.
