Legananny Dolmen in Drumgooland Parish
Legananny is situated off the B7 7 miles south of Dromara, signposted from Dromara and Castlewellan.
This is the best dolmen in Northern Ireland. It's on the slopes of Sleive Croob near the village of Leitrim, nestled between the farmer's stone wall and a back road. It's from the megalithic period of about 5,000 years ago and is the portal grave of a chieftian. The heavy stones would have been dragged some distance before being set in place. The three supporting stones are unusally long and there are slight traces of a cairn which must have been far more extensive. Some urns were found underneath.
