TWO STONE CIRCLES; STANDING STONE and ALIGNMENT in Brougher

TWO STONE CIRCLES; STANDING STONE and ALIGNMENT

What is recorded here

Two stone circles and a standing stone still stand in Brougher, County Fermanagh, marked as prehistoric and scheduled. The stones may have measured rain, hunger, birth or the arrival of light. A person may have walked between them at dawn, touching rough skin and listening for answer.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO STONE CIRCLES; STANDING STONE and 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 Neolithic or Bronze Age, this site may have had ceremonial or astronomical significance, as suggested by the alignment and circular arrangements typical of prehistoric ritual landscapes in the region. Local folklore sometimes associates such stones with ancient druidic practices or fairy boundaries.

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