What is recorded here
In Arda, County Fermanagh, two stones still stand where Patrick is said to have planted his staff. They mark the spot where Christian worship first entered the valley, turning ancient ground into sacred territory. The stones have watched centuries of rain, fire and forgetting, yet they remain the clearest proof that the boundary between worlds once shifted.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FOLKLORE SITE : ST. PATRICK'S STONES. Recorded period: 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.
