FIVE STANDING STONES, possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB in Brougher

FIVE STANDING STONES, possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB

What is recorded here

Five stones still stand in Brougher, County Fermanagh, perhaps marking a burial chamber from the prehistoric dark. They defy easy classification, resisting the temptation to call them merely a tomb or merely a boundary. That uncertainty belongs to them. People may have gathered there to honour the dead, witness the seasons, or simply mark the edge of known land. The stones remain clear even when their purpose blunts.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FIVE STANDING STONES, possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
