Leg of lamb is a cut from the domestic sheep. In the US, "lamb" can be used to refer to sheep where in other countries the term "mutton" would be used instead, as the name lamb is reserved for younger sheep. The cut means the whole leg, and it would therefore be served on the bone.
Lamb is one of the traditional components in the British and Irish meal referred to as the Sunday roast, or Sunday dinner, although these days it can be served at other times of the week too. The lamb would be accompanied by roast, or mashed, potato, Yorkshire puddings, stuffing, gravy and other vegetables (such as carrots and peas, but others are also popular). Another typical accompaniment for lamb would be mint sauce.
