STONE CIRCLE

What is recorded here

Mnemo is a stone circle in Cleffany, County Fermanagh. The chambered tomb belongs to the Neolithic period. It is one of the largest tombs in Ulster and stands beside a narrow road. The chamber measured about 4.5 metres across. Its entrance faced southeast. A long mound once covered the stones. People may have buried their dead there or marked the place for later memory. The stones still stand where the mound has mostly gone.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE CIRCLE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this stone circle may have been used for ritual, ceremonial, or astronomical purposes. Such sites often held spiritual significance and were associated with communal gatherings or ancestor veneration in prehistoric societies.

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