Graveyard is a possible megalithic tomb situated in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument lies upon bedrock of the Tyrone Group, a Visean-period formation comprising limestone, mudstone, sandstone and siltstone interspersed with chert, coal and conglomerate. This varied geology has shaped the landscape in which the tomb was constructed and remains visible in the surrounding terrain today.
Megalithic monuments of this type are characteristic of Neolithic and Bronze Age societies in Ireland, typically serving as communal burial places or ritual focal points within the prehistoric landscape. The site's designation as a possible rather than confirmed example reflects the condition or appearance of surviving structural elements, though its archaeological significance remains substantial within the local context.
The monument is protected by the Historic Environment Division under reference number 9350, ensuring its preservation and recognising its importance to the archaeological record of Ulster. The site contributes to understanding patterns of early settlement and funerary practice across this region of Fermanagh, where numerous prehistoric monuments document long continuity of occupation and ritual activity.
