Legananny dolmen
The Legananny Dolmen is a three-legged example from the megalithic period of about 5,000 years ago and is the portal grave of a chieftain. The heavy stones would have been dragged some distance before being set in place. The three supporting stones are unusally long and there are slight traces of a cairn as well.

Cody, Henry Brereton Cody, The Insurrection Of Twenty-Third, July 1803, Dublin: Gaisberry And Campbell,
Henry Brereton Cody (died 1830) was the author of The Insurrection of Twenty-Third July, 1803 published in the wake of Robert Emmet’s abortive rebellion. The book recounts the events leading up to the events of 1803 and attempts to give an ideological justification for the British suppression of the separatist rebels. It has been described as a travesty by subsequent Irish writers and historians for its bias against Irish nationalist republicanism.
