THREE CONCENTRIC STONE CIRCLES & ALIGNMENT in Mountdrum

THREE CONCENTRIC STONE CIRCLES & ALIGNMENT

What is recorded here

Three concentric stone circles and an alignment mark Mountdrum in County Fermanagh, preserving a prehistoric landscape where distance and direction likely mattered more than decoration. The stones still stand scheduled and visible, inviting people to walk their edges and imagine the ceremonies, conversations or warnings that once filled the space between them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as THREE CONCENTRIC STONE CIRCLES & ALIGNMENT. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the Three Concentric Stone Circles & Alignment in Mountdrum may have functioned as a ceremonial or astronomical site, reflecting ritual practices or seasonal observations. Local folklore sometimes associates such stone arrangements with ancient druidic activity or fairy legends, though these are not historically verified.

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