The Cloonchambers (Irish: Portach Chluain Sheamhair) Special Area of Conservation or SAC is a Natura 2000 site based close to the town of Castlerea in County Roscommon, Ireland.[1][2] The qualifying interests by which it is protected as an SAC are the presence of three habitat types: the presence of active raised bogs (priority habitat), the presence of degraded raised bogs still capable of natural regeneration, and the presence of depressions on peat substrates of Rhynchosporion vegetation.[1][3][4]
