Legananny Cross Stone
Legananny Cross Stone submitted by bigalguitarpicker : Legananny Cross Stone. Situated in the Dromara Mountains, close to it's famous relative, Legananny Dolmen, this fine example of a Cross Stone is worth visiting. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Cross in Co. Down

Climb over a gate by an abandoned cottage, then walk 50 or 60 yards downhill. The Standing Stone is in full view.

Although marked on the map, this site isn't anywhere nearly as well known as Legananny Dolmen, which is at the other end of the same road. I have only seen one photograph of this site on the web.
