Oak woodland has also developed on a large drumlin within the site. Over much of this Oak Quercus sp. dominates the canopy with frequent Sycamore Acer pseudoplatanus and Beech Fagus sylvatica and occasional Ash Fraxinus excelsior. Otter Lutra lutra is present on the site and fluctuating water-filled ditches represent the principal sites for Water Violet Hottonia palustris in Northern Ireland.
