What is recorded here

An uncertain Christian or medieval graveyard on Boa Island in County Fermanagh still holds carved stone figures, waiting for interpretation rather than surrendering it. The stones may have marked death, devotion or local identity before the meaning faded. They remain scheduled and visible, resisting the temptation to invent what they stopped saying.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE FIGURES IN CALDRAGH GRAVEYARD: BOA ISLAND. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN; E.C./MED. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Early Christian stone figures within a graveyard on Boa Island; likely 6th–9th century AD. These carvings are significant as rare examples of early Christian iconography in a remote Atlantic coastal setting.

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