Giant's Grave is a court tomb, a form of Neolithic megalithic monument dating to approximately 3500–3000 BCE, located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Court tombs are among the earliest monumental architecture in Ireland, characterised by their forecourt area and stone-built burial chambers, and served as communal burial places for Neolithic farming communities. The monument consists of a central court flanked by burial chambers, constructed from large orthostatic stones typical of the period, and would originally have been covered by a cairn of smaller stones. Such monuments are concentrated in the northwest of Ireland and represent significant developments in Neolithic funerary practice and social organisation.
