Legananny (believed to be from Irish Liagán Áine 'Áine's standing stone') is a townland 5.6 km (3.5 mi) north of Leitrim, Northern Ireland. It contains the ancient Legannany Dolmen which has stood for between 4000 and 4500 years. It is made up of three large stones standing upright with a very large stone sitting on top of them. It has been linked with the Irish goddess Áine.
