Giants' Grave is a Neolithic megalithic monument located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, representing the Dual Court tomb tradition characteristic of the Early Neolithic period in Ulster. The site consists of two distinct court areas leading to internal burial chambers, a architectural configuration typical of court tombs constructed during the fourth millennium BCE. As a surviving example of monumental funerary architecture, the tomb reflects the communal burial practices and social organisation of Neolithic agricultural communities in the region. The monument remains archaeologically significant for understanding early monument-building traditions and settlement patterns in north-western Ireland during the Neolithic period.
