Ligoniel, also Legoniel (from Irish Lag an Aoil, meaning "hollow of the lime"),[1] is a north-western suburb of Belfast, on the upper Crumlin Road. As its name suggests, it was originally a village located in a limestone hollow on Wolf Hill, allegedly the place where Ireland's last wolf was killed.[2]
