What is recorded here
Stone circles and two alignments in Montiaghroe, County Fermanagh, have stood since the Bronze Age. They are scheduled, meaning the state still treats them as worth keeping. The stones may have marked seasonal light, claimed local identity or simply repeated a shape older than memory. Whatever they measured, they are still measuring, patient and unbroken.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE CIRCLE & TWO ALIGNMENTS. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; 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 Bronze Age, this stone circle and alignments may have had ceremonial or astronomical significance, common features of prehistoric ritual landscapes in the region. Such sites were often used for seasonal gatherings or as markers for celestial events.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
