            <text>Lough Fad Bog NHA is a relatively large and primarily upland blanket bog, situated approximately 7 km from Pettigo, north of the Donegal to Pettigo road. It lies at altitudes between 130 m and 280 m on acidic gneiss bedrock. The site is situated in the townlands of Meensheefin, Belalt North, Lough Fad and Lough Ultan. Plantation forestry largely surrounds the site on its western, eastern and northern sides, while to the south it is bounded by the road between Donegal and Pettigo.&#13;
&#13;
The site contains upland and lowland blanket bog developed as relatively shallow peat. The bog lies on a series of gently sloping plateaux, separated by rocky knolls and east-west trending ridges, situated on a catchment divide (watershed) between the Waterfoot and Ballintra Rivers. A number of lakes occur in the northern part of the site, including Lough Nageage, Lough Natragh, Lough Nacraghan, Lough Fad, Lough Atarriff and Lough Nabrackmore.</text>
