The low lumpy hill landscape of the Slieve Croob foothills are composed of ancient granites and form poor grazing land. The rounded drumlins with their much more fertile soils are part of the landscape that dates back only about 13,000 years and were formed of glacial deposits pushed up against the Slieve Croob range by huge ice-sheets.
