EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the heart of County Down, Northern Ireland, lies the enigmatic Legananny Cromeac Dolmen, a Neolithic monument that has stood the test of time for over 4,000 years. This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the awe-inspiring size and grandeur of this ancient site. The image features a man, seated on the grassy mound, providing a sense of scale to the colossal stones that tower above him. The dolmen, also known as a portal tomb, is believed to have been used as a burial site during the Neolithic period. Its name, Cromeac, is derived from the Irish word "croime," meaning "a cauldron," due to the shape of the large capstone that rests atop the upright stones. Legananny Cromeac Dolmen is a popular tourist attraction and a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Northern Ireland. The site is surrounded by lush greenery and is a serene and picturesque location, making it an ideal spot for reflection and contemplation. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a unique perspective on a part of our shared history. It invites us to imagine the lives of those who came before us and to appreciate the enduring beauty and mystery of this ancient monument.
