Physiographical interest in the active peat processes. The blanket bog developed on a free draining fluvio-glacial sand and gravels due to iron pan formation impeding drainage. 
The bog contains a well developed pool and hummock complex and supports a Sphagnum rich bryophyte carpet with several rare species. The Oligotrophic lough is characteristic of base-poor lakes on peat. The overall habitat supports a notable upland peatland insect fauna.
