WEDGE TOMB: THE DRUID'S ALTAR & GIANT'S GRAVE in Coolbuck

WEDGE TOMB: THE DRUID'S ALTAR & GIANT'S GRAVE

What is recorded here

One chamber, one doorway, one living memory. A wedge tomb in Coolbuck, County Fermanagh, belongs to the Neo/B.A. and prehistoric period, and it is still scheduled. The druid's altar and giant's grave are local names, not a claim that a giant slept there or a druid stood there. They show that people kept seeing the stones as a place for worship, loss, or wonder.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as WEDGE TOMB: THE DRUID'S ALTAR & GIANT'S GRAVE. Recorded period: NEO/B.A.; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Wedge tomb dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period. Its dual local names, "The Druid's Altar" and "The Giant's Grave," reflect its cultural and mythological significance in the region.
