There are many monuments in Glenullin which help us to trace the history of habitation in the area to the earliest times. Many people will be unaware of the existence of Cuilbane Stone Circle. This monument has stood in Glenullin since the Stone Age.

It is of significance in that the stones are small. Early man had still not achieved the ability to raise the grander stones that we can see in places like Stonehenge.

The Stone Circle was probably linked either to a burial site or to a religious festival where the stones would be aligned with sunrise at the spring or autumn solstices. Flint tools found at the site would date to somewhere between 4000 to 2500 BC.

Cuilbane Rath dates from the Iron Age.This is a large bank of earth which the Iron Age people used to fortify their farms. The folklore of later generations suggested that these forts had been made by the fairies but we now know that they were built at some time between 300 BC and 1200 AD.
