About Legananny Dolmen

This famous, much illustrated, tripod portal tomb faces south and has a large flat capstone gracefully balanced on three unusually tall supporting stones. There are slight traces remain of a cairn, which must once have been far more extensive. Nineteenth century photographs show part of a court. There is an early record of ‘urns’ having been found in the dolmen, but it has not been archaeologically excavated.
