This drumlin landscape is part of a crescent of glacial deposits pushed up against the Mournes and Slieve Croob (the highest peak in the background) around 13,000 years ago. They are a young feature of the landscape - the granites uplands of the Mournes date back some 56 million years ago and those of Slieve Croob some 250 million years.
