Loughmoney ASSI
There is only a limited area of diverse fen on the site, which occupies a small area at the southern end and narrow margins to the north. It is highly grazed, short vegetation with blunt flowered rush and lesser water parsnip. Quite species-diverse but possibly nutrient enriched. The bulk of the site is great fen sedge swamp as a mono-species stand, probably the largest area of Cladium in Down and Armagh.
