The Upper Carboniferous rocks of the Drumlish Conglomerate Formation that are exposed in Straduff Quarry were formed wheneroded sediments were deposited by braided streams in the proximal part of an alluvial fan. 
This formation is exceptional in that its closest equivalents occur in northeast Canada and not in the British Isles where it is thus unique.
The Scarce Blue-tailed Damselfly has been recorded from the site. This is the rarest species of damselfly in Northern Ireland.
