Legananny Dolmen Gate (2010) 8713b

A distinctive custom-made metal gate at the entrance to a farm, just beside Legannany Dolmen. The gate incorporates an artistic representation of the dolmen's silhouette.

 

Legananny Dolmen is an iconic megalithic structure found on the slopes of Slieve Croob, some 3 miles north of Castlewellan in County Down.

 

It stands at approx 1.8m high, and is around 5000 years old.

 

It sits on the side of a country lane.

 

I took these pictures during a visit in the summer of 2010. Typically the drizzle was coming in and the light was going.
