Giants' Graves is a Neolithic court tomb located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, dating to the fourth millennium BCE. The monument consists of a chambered megalithic structure with a characteristic court area flanked by orthostatic stones, typical of the court tomb tradition that flourished in Ulster during the early Neolithic period. Such tombs served as communal burial monuments and represent significant developments in architectural and social organisation among the earliest farming communities in Ireland. The site contributes to the archaeological record of megalithic burial practices and settlement patterns in the northwest of the island during the Neolithic era.
