Barrow cemetery and burnt mounds is a Bronze Age ritual and domestic complex located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site comprises multiple Bronze Age barrows associated with burnt mound features, known in Irish archaeology as fulachta fiadh, which are characteristically low mounds composed of fire-cracked stones and charcoal debris. These burnt mounds typically represent the remains of cooking or heating installations used during the Bronze Age, often in conjunction with nearby water sources. The barrow cemetery demonstrates the ritual burial practices and settlement patterns of Bronze Age communities in the region, providing evidence for both funerary activity and domestic or subsistence-related use of the landscape during the second millennium BC.
