Shannon Pot
Shannon Pot or Legnashinna () is a pool in the karst landscape near Cuilcagh Mountain in County Cavan, Ireland. An aquifer-fed naturally fluctuating pool, it is the traditional source of the River Shannon.
The pool itself is about wide. It was first explored by divers in 1971 to a depth of 6 m. It was later explored by Martyn Farr among others to a depth of 9.5 m from where the water emerges from a 2 m wide fissure.〔 In early 2009 the pot was dived to a depth of 14.6 m by Artur Kozłowski, who entered an unstable chamber.〔http://wiki.technicaldiving.ie/index.php?title=Log_na_Sionna_/_Shannon_Pot〕
Towns and villages near the Shannon Pot include Dowra, Blacklion and Glangevlin.
== Folklore ==
According to legend, the Shannon is named after Sionnan, who was the granddaughter of Manannán mac Lir, the god of the sea. She came to this spot to eat the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, which was planted by the Druids. As she began to eat it, the waters of the pool sprang up and overwhelmed her. She was drawn down into the pool and its water began to flow over the land, forming the River Shannon.
