Teal Lough and Slaghtfreeden Bogs ASSI

The largest of these bogs, at Teal Lough, probably has the finest hummock and pool complex of any raised bog in Northern Ireland. On all the bogs there are scattered large hummocks of Racomitrium lanuginosum, Sphagnum imbricatum and Sphagnum fuscum, together with other bryophytes including Mylia taylorii, Mylia anomala and Pleurozia purpurea. The bog pools also support a number of locally uncommon vascular plant species, including lesser bladderwort at Teal Lough and oblong - leaved sundew at Slaghtfreeden.
