Legananny Dolmen is a megalithic dolmen or cromlech nine miles southeast of Banbridge and three miles north of Castlewellan, both in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is on the slopes of Slieve Croob near the village of Leitrim,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Travel Now )〕 in Drumgooland parish, nestled between the farmer's stone wall and a back road. It is a State Care Historic Monument sited in the townland of Legananny, in Banbridge District, at grid ref: J2887 4339.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Environment and Heritage Service NI - State Care Historic Monuments )〕 This tripod dolmen has a capstone over 3m long and 1.8m from the ground. It dates to the Neolithic period, making the monument approximately 5,000 years old. Such portal tombs were funerary sites for the disposal of the dead in Neolithic society. The heavy stones would have been dragged some distance before being set in place. The three supporting stones are unusually long and there are slight traces of a cairn which must have been far more extensive. Some urns were found underneath.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Ros Davies' Co. Down, Northern Ireland Genealogy Research Site )〕 The name ''Legananny'' is believed(by_whom?) to be derived – Áine being an Irish goddess. ==Gallery== File:Legananny Dolmen (08), December 2009.JPG|Legananny Dolmen, December 2009 File:Legananny Dolmen (14), December 2009.JPG|Legananny Dolmen, December 2009 File:Legananny Dolmen (11), December 2009.JPG|Legannany Dolmen, December 2009 File:Legananny Dolmen (16), December 2009.JPG|Legannany Dolmen, December 2009 File:Legananny Dolmen (13), December 2009.JPG|Legananny Dolmen, December 2009 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Legananny Dolmen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
