Giant's Grave is a prehistoric megalithic tomb located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises a cairn structure with orthostatic stones, and may represent a court tomb, a form of megalithic burial architecture characteristic of Neolithic Ireland dating to approximately 3500 to 3000 BCE. The presence of orthostatic elements—large upright stones forming structural supports—is consistent with other court tombs of the Irish Neolithic, which typically served as communal burial places for multiple interments. The site is recorded in the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record under HED NI NISMR MonID 10246 and remains an important example of megalithic funerary practice in the region.
