Teal Lough Part 2 ASSI
Physiographical interest lies in the active peat processes associated with both raised and blanket bog development, including the well-developed pool and hummock complex. In addition, the underlying fluvioglacial
sands and gravels are notable. Biological interest lies mainly in the
plant and animal communities and individual species that are associated with the blanket bog vegetation and the oligotrophic lough.
