Much of the land on the more gentle sloping slopes of the northern quadrant of the Ring have been reclaimed and planted with cultivated grasses and supports a pastoral economy. These slopes are in marked contrast to the scarps facing Slieve Gullion (background left) which are covered mainly in heath and scrub vegetation. The hill on the right in the Ring of Gullion is part of the Slievenacappel group of uplands.
