Dead Island Bog
Dead Island Bog is a lowland raised bog lying in a shallow
inter-drumlin hollow within the Lower Bann valley. Special features
include a large, intact core of deep peat, which exhibits a
wide range of characteristic vegetation and structural features.
These include shallow pools and a well-developed hummock and
lawn complex. The bog surface supports a dense and diverse cover
of Sphagnum bog-mosses. Notable species include Sphagnum
imbricatum, forming several small, hummocks scattered over
the surface, cranberry, and great sundew in several of
the pools.
There is no public access to this site.
