Kingdom of Mourne - Characteristics

"A patchwork of improved and semi-improved grazing in medium sized square fields divided by robust stone walls of glacial granite boulders.

Numerous scattered small scale individual houses and farms along dense network of narrow roads, often aligned perpendicular to the slopes.

Scattered trees and yellow gorse along field boundaries and patchy woodland in valleys.

Coniferous plantation on hillslopes."
