This is the Legannany Dolmen which has given Legananny townland its name. Liagan Aine means pillar stone of Anya. She was the mythological mother goddess loved by the warrior Finn McCool.
The Dolmen sits on the south-west slope of Slieve Croob, in County Down, Northern Ireland. In the distance are the Mourne Mountains, an area I know well. Many a day when I lived in England, I would long to be back here... in and around the Mournes, my favourite place in the whole wide world!
