Round cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The cairn dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period, representing the burial practices of early farming communities or their successors in the region. As a round cairn, it would have originally comprised a mound of stones constructed over one or more burial deposits, though its current physical condition reflects the effects of time and potential disturbance. Such monuments are characteristic of the prehistoric megalithic tradition across Ireland and testify to the ritual and commemorative practices of pre-Christian societies in the wider landscape of Fermanagh.
